Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Educational Institutions, Meta-AnalysisAbstract
This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the studies conducted in educational institutions aimed at augmented reality. In general, the studies included in the study were included in “web of science” categories and published in journals with high impact size. This research was conducted on sixteen carefully selected studies. The total number of samples of these studies was three thousand two hundred and thirty-three and the data obtained formed the basis for a meta-analysis. First, a funnel plot diagram was drawn to check for publication bias. Then, statistics were calculated. As a result of these analyses, we found no publication bias in the studies. Then, we did a test for heterogeneity to choose a model. The results supported the meta-analysis's interpretation. It used the random effects model. A meta-analysis study has shown that research conducted in educational institutions related to augmented reality has greatly impacted overall. These results suggest that augmented reality has an important potential in education.
