Augmented Reality Technology in Early Schools: A Literature Review

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a notable rise in the utilization of augmented reality within educational settings. However, there is still room for improvement in early childhood education. This study aims to investigate how current augmented reality works in early childhood education between 2017 and 2022 using library research methodology. The study's content was analyzed based on the case studies on integrating augmented reality in early school education between 2017 and 2022. 26 studies were found when the keyword "Augmented Reality in early school" was used to start the study (in primary school). With a sample size of fewer than 21 kids, early literacy discovered that Science (Animals, Newton) was the most frequently used subject. Regarding data collection techniques, testing has emerged as the dominant technique in research of "marker-based" augmented reality on mobile devices. These findings help to clarify the best ways to use this technology in early learning settings. Over the past five years, the number of schools using augmented reality in early childhood education has steadily increased.
