EDUC 639 - WIKI LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Technology is ever changing and ever growing. One of the newest developing technologies is augmented reality (AR), which can be applied to many different existing technologies such as: computers, tablets, and smartphones. AR technology can also be utilized through wearable components; for example, glasses. Throughout this literature review on AR the following aspects are discussed at length: research found, theoretical foundations, implications, challenges, and reactions. Several different types of AR devices and applications are discussed at length, and an in-depth analysis is done on several studies that have implemented AR technology in an educational setting. This review focuses on how AR technology can be applied, the issues surrounding the use of this technology, as well as the viewpoints of those who have worked with AR applications. Specifically, AR has the potential to change education to become more efficient in the same ways that computers and the Internet have.
Keywords: augmented reality, science education, self-determination theory, flow theory, situated learning theory, just-in-time learning, constructivism
