Preliminary Evaluation on User Acceptance of the Augmented Reality Use for Education

Augmented Reality Trends in Education between 2016 and 2017 Years

“…Increasing attention [11,14,25] Making learning attractive and effective [6,[28][29][30][31] Providing motivation [11,14,25,32] Providing interaction [6,13,17,19,[33][34][35] Facilitating understanding [17,36,37] Connecting with real world experiences and problems [38] Creating contextual awareness [17] Increasing engagement [17,34] Ensuring permanent learning [17] Improving communication [17] Increasing collaboration [18,39] Triggering creativity [18,31,40] Developed imagination [18,40] Controlling self-learning [18,34] Increasing spatial ability [6,27,34] Enhancing problem-solving skills [16] Improving interpretation skills [16] Firstly, level of education used in these reviewed studies has been investigated. Results show that AR technology has been mostly carried out in primary and graduate education.…”

“…Providing a sense of reality [21] Presenting a natural experience [11,14] Visualize complex relationships [19,22] Offer experiences that cannot be done in real life [6,19] Concrete abstract concepts [6] Having fun learning [23] Presenting safe learning environment [6,24,25] Saving time and space [24,25] Increasing student participation [6] Providing flexibility [16] Supported learning approaches Authentic learning environments [18] Situational learning environments [6,26] Constructivist learning environments [3] Learning by doing environments [6] Inquiry-based learning environments [6,27] Research-based learning environments [18] Gains of using augmented reality in education…”

“…This situation leads AR technology to be used in education area. It is known that technological tools used in education provide new opportunities to increase interaction of learners and to learn by enjoying, making the learning process more active, effective, meaningful, and motivating [9][10][11]. AR technology has also attracted attention in education field with its ability to allow interaction with virtual and real objects, to learn by doing, and to increase attention and motivation [12].…”

The Effects of Augmented Reality on Elementary School Students’ Spatial Ability and Academic Achievement

“…AG uygulamalarının, soyut kavramları somutlaştırarak, kavramların ve süreçlerin anlaşılma oranını artırdığı (Shelton ve Hedley, 2002) öğrencilerin odaklanma sürelerini artırarak, akademik başarılarını da olumlu yönde etkilediği (Liu vd., 2007;Abdüsselam ve Karal, 2012), derse dikkat çekme, öğrencilerin motivasyonunu artırma ve süreçten zevk almalarını sağladığı (Liu vd., 2007;Klopfer ve Squire, 2008;Sumadio ve Rambli, 2010), 21. yüzyıl becerileri olarak gösterilen kritik düşünme ve problem çözme gibi becerilerini geliştirdiği (Dunleavy, Dede ve Mitchell, 2009) yönünde sonuçlara ulaşılmış çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. The New Media Consortium'un 2011 Horizon Raporu, bireylerin bilgiyi gerçek hayatlarıyla ilişkilendirmesine imkan veren aktif bir öğrenme ortamı oluşturulması için AG uygulamalarının önemine dikkat çekmektedir.…”

A New Hybrid Approach for Augmented Reality Maintenance in Scientific Facilities

“…AR is an intuitive technology with a quick learning curve such that even users who have never used an AR application before have been seen to use them with good results [32]. For this reason, the final system that includes the approach presented in this paper may be used even without previous training.…”
