Abstract
Augmented reality can provide an interactive learning environment. This leads to an exploration of new possibilities in the educational domain. In this work, a systematic literature review of AR applications developed for preschool and primary education is presented. To conduct this review, the Google Scholar database was used. The articles were screened using a set of five inclusion-exclusion criteria for suitability. In total, seventy-one articles published between 2012 to 2021 were selected. Of those, forty-five are conference papers, one is a book chapter, and the remaining twenty-five are journals. These works were analyzed by nine research questions proposed by us. We identified enjoyment, engagement, and learning gains as the key achievements of AR-based applications. Besides this, improvement in motivation, learning interest, participation, understanding, and self-learning are also found important in our review. Although, there are challenges—usability issues, technical problems, acceptance, cognitive overload, and health issues; however, due to their numerous benefits, AR-based applications may be another mode of teaching-learning method in the near future.
