The Advantages and Applications of Augmented Reality in Science Education

Abstract

Educational technologies can help students learn more interest and help the student to understand abstract concepts in science to become concrete with visuals in the learning process. The new technology in education is Augmented Reality (AR), which also has an excellent potential to make the learning process more enjoyable, coloring and helping students understand abstract concepts. The use of AR in science education has recently caught the attention of researchers and allowed students to gain real-world experience. Therefore, this study's concept is the paper review about AR research in science education. The review discusses the application in the science subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Also, this paper explains the advantages of AR technology in science education. The review also shows that AR in science education has great potential and benefits for adapting to science education and highlights AR's limitations for future research.

The Effect of Augmented Reality Integrated Traditional Games Nglarak Blarak to Improve Critical Thinking and Graphical Representation Skills

“…The integration of technology and traditional games brought into physics learning has a positive impact on student learning outcomes (Sari et al, 2019). However, integrating AR technology into physics learning can help students understand physics concepts more easily (Rahmat et al, 2023), see these abstract concepts through 3D virtual objects (Cai et al, 2012;Kassim & A Bakar, 2021), and achieve more meaningful learning (Rahmat et al, 2022). AR technology is a new technology in the world of education, so it is new for students to use it.…”

A systematic literature review of integrating augmented reality technology in science learning

“…Learning environments using AR technology can create concrete information (Wojciechowski &;Cellary, 2013). AR technology has the opportunity to provide new experiences for students that are difficult to find in real life, for example, the solar system (Cai et al, 2021;Wojciechowski & Cellary, 2013;Yen et al, 2013), increased student participation in classroom , create fun learning (Yoon et al, 2017), saving time and space for learning environment (Rahmat et al, 2022) and increase attention on learning activities (Roumba & Nicolaidou, 2022). In addition, AR also supports approaches in learning that aim to actively involve students in the learning process (Díaz-Noguera et al, 2017;Yilmaz, 2021).…”
