Abstract
In the last decade, the usage of Augmented Reality (AR) has proliferated especially in the education sector. However, only limited articles have systematically reviewed the research trends in the implementation of AR for learning mathematics. Thus, this paper presents a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the research trend for the period between the year 2015–2019. From a leading indexing Scopus database, this review has identified only 19 journal articles based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. These works of literature were analyzed and grouped into eight themes to illustrate the trends of these research focus: AR apps types, AR apps development tools, research contribution cat-egories, benefits of AR for math, learning problems, testing methods, and math subtopics. Moreover, this synthesized review on learning of mathematics through AR could benefit researchers and educators, thereby suggesting avenues for future research.
Highlights
The objective of this paper is to review, analyze and classify the existing work of literature that is related to learning of mathematics through Augmented Reality (AR)
1570 journal articles were found based on Title-Abstract-Keywords search: “Augmented Reality” AND “Mathematics” OR “Geometry” OR “Mathematical”
RQ8: What are the most popular mathematics topics chosen for AR apps? Five popular topics were chosen in the included articles: Geometry, Algebra, Euclidean Vectors, Statistic, and Probability
Summary
The objective of this paper is to review, analyze and classify the existing work of literature that is related to learning of mathematics through Augmented Reality (AR). The usage of Augmented Reality (AR) has grown rapidly due to the popularity of AR in different fields—aligned with the fast explosion of mobile technology. AR is a mixed reality technology that contains virtual objects that are implemented or ‘augmented’ with the real world. AR starts between the real world and augmented virtuality [3]. The usage of AR in education has increased as it has opened new possibilities in the teaching and learning process [4]. The usage of AR for mathematics education is currently increasing
