Augmented Reality Technology in Physical Education: A Systematic Review in Instructional Design, and AR Implementation Option Over the Last 5 Years

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the advanced digital technologies that is being used in education. As its growth globally, significant research has demonstrated the value of AR as a pedagogical resource in a variety of educational settings. However, little is known regarding the contribution of AR technology in the teaching and learning process in the context of Physical Education (PE), necessitating a thorough investigation. Hence, this systematic review is presented to identify the most commonly used instructional model in developing AR materials for PE and its implementation option towards undergraduates over the previous 5 years. With a total of 22 research papers analysed in this review, this paper provides vital insight that meets the study’s objectives. The findings indicate that ADDIE was the most frequently used instructional design by the previous researchers, and AR technology adoption was not the only option for undergraduates in the last five years.
