“…The limitations of laboratory space can be overcome with technology so that students can still observe objects as they did initially. Augmented reality (AR) enhances traditional learning resources that are difficult to obtain through real experience [7], [8]. The research conducted by Weshah et al [9] aims to overcome the impracticality of the learning process and the inability of students to understand concepts by creating AR for android-based smartphones.…”

Critical thinking (CT) in biology is important for future learners. The examination results from previous studies are complemented by the author's initial findings showing that students' CT is not well developed. This research develops comic books as Augmented Reality (AR) markers to raise students' CT. ADDIE model is used in this research. The scaletest was limited to twenty rural high school students. Validation sheets, CT tests, and questionnaires were used to collect data. The research results show that comic books and AR are valid based on expert evaluation. Limited scale trial of moderate improvement in student CT (n-gain = 0.38). 75% of students' CT has developed well at the end of the lesson. There is a significant difference between pre- CT and post-CT (p < 0.05). Students respond excellently to the use of comic books as AR markers in learning. This research concludes that comic books and AR are valid and their use in learning during a pandemic can improve students' CT. Recommendations for future research are trials on a large scale to determine the strong effectiveness of using comic books as AR markers.

“…The effect of the AR material on the academic achievement of the students is that they are more successful than the students in the control group. Many academic studies in the literature support the conclusion reached (Abdüsselam & Karal, 2012;Fleck, Simon & Christian Bastien, 2014;Önal & Önal, 2021). As a result of research data, the use of AR and modeling techniques in science education has a positive effect on students' academic achievement and motivation, as well as increases students' interest and attention.…”

“…In the science curriculum, it is aimed to enable individuals to reveal their creativity and be directly involved in the learning process by being aware of their responsibilities, which is in line with the 21st century skills (Akpınar & Ergin, 2005). Moreover, methods and techniques chosen are of great importance, especially in learning difficult or abstract concepts, increasing motivation, academic achievement, or interest in science (Hiğde & Aktamış, 2022;Kang & Keinonen, 2018;Önal & Önal, 2021) besides the skills of science teachers, who are directly involved in the learning process of individuals and responsible for providing better management of education.…”

“…Textbooks have begun to be equipped with this technology. AR applications emerge as a technology that makes learning environments more fun and active for students instead of classical education-teaching environments (Birişçi & Karal, 2010;Önal & Önal, 2021). With the use of AR technologies in science education, course content is provided to be more meaningful and permanent.…”

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of modelling and the material designed with augmented reality technology on the academic success of students, their motivation, and interest levels towards the science course. The study was conducted in 6th grade science units of "Support and Movement System" and "Systems in Our Body". In the study, quasi-experimental design with pre-test post-test control group was applied. The study was carried out with three groups: the control group, the augmented reality experimental group and the modeling experimental group. The research sample consists of a total of 66 students studying at a public middle school in the Küçükçekmece district of Istanbul province, during the 2020-2021 academic year. To collect data, a 30-item Science Achievement Test, a 23-item Science Motivation Scale, and a 27-item Science Interest Scale were applied. Kruskal Wallis test was applied for multiple comparisons, and Mann Whitney U tests were carried out for post-hoc comparasions. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were applied for intragroup comparisons. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the use of augmented reality and modeling technique in the science course had a statistically significant effect on the academic success, motivation, and interest of the students towards the science course.

“…By combining virtual digital information, text, images, and other data in a real environment, AR is a real-time interactive tool that can help complement information lacking in the physical environment and assist learners in learning abstract concepts and constructing knowledge [16]. Recent research in the field of AR-assisted science has been widely applied to astronomy [25,26], mathematics [27], science [28], STEM education [29], and environmental education [30][31][32][33]. In particular, Tarng et al [30] developed the Augmented Reality Butterfly Ecological Learning System (ARBELS) using AR technology combined with a mobile device and a GPS positioning system to raise virtual butterflies in the vicinity of food plants and nectariferous plants on campus as a background.…”

Experiential activities are the most direct form of ecological teaching, so outdoor education is an important way of learning. Through direct observation and life experience, students will learn about the ecological environment, understand the importance of the ecological environment, raise their awareness of environmental protection, and put into practice the protection of the ecological environment. This study involved plant teaching activities that incorporated school plant learning paths into environmental education, so that students could learn about flora, experience nature, and take care of the environment. We created an augmented reality application for use in schools that takes the user on an ecological tour of the plants in the diet of butterflies. The application formed the localized and special mobile learning content in a school. Students were allowed to walk out of the classroom and use their mobile device to engage in autonomous learning, and we then determined their acceptance of the augmented reality application. Through this application we were able to tell whether students were able to adapt to learning with technology combined with traditional teaching methods. This application was tested on a group of elementary school students, who were then interviewed using quantitative and qualitative research methods to understand the users’ feedback.
