Abstract

The use of technological elements in education has become one of the elements of learning in the 21st century (21st Century Learning) Incorporated Augmented Reality is one of the branches of technology that is increasingly being applied in education. Augmented Reality is a technology that applies virtual information to the physical world in a three-dimensional form, which produces an interactive and comprehensive experience for the user. The highlighting objective of this systematic study is to identify the use of Augmented Reality applications in education and its impact on student academic achievement. The methodology of this study is based on online research highlighting from databases such as Scopus and Web of Science (WOS). The keywords used in the search are Augmented Reality in education, impact, learning, and academic achievement. This systematic study highlighted the use of augmented reality in a range of primary education level up to tertiary education level in learning fields, such as language studies, science, mathematics, and higher education. The study also found that the application of augmented reality can help improve student visualization skills, student problem-solving skills and help improve students' academic achievement. This aided researchers and educators to use the augmented reality application in education, while also providing future study related to the implementation of augmented reality and appropriate learning strategies for effective use of augmented reality technologies. The study also found that both teachers and also students have positive perception towards the use of augmented reality applications in learning process.
