Meta-analyses of effects of augmented reality on educational outcomes over a decade

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, many students have been forced to receive education assisted by augmented reality technologies at home. To investigate the effects of augmented reality technologies on educational outcomes, researchers conducted a meta-analysis using Stata/MP 14.0. The results suggested that augmented reality-assisted education significantly improved learner attitudes towards and learning achievements when compared to non-augmented reality-assisted education. However, the study failed to identify any significant differences in motivation levels between augmented reality-assisted and non-augmented reality-assisted educational models. Several potential reasons were explored to account for this unexpected finding. Future research should consider more comprehensive influencing factors such as learning styles and learner personality to determine the effect of augmented reality technologies on educational outcomes. Additionally, integrating advanced technologies into course designs presents a promising avenue for improving educational outcomes in the future.
