20.500.12556/DKUM-96300 Augmented reality in biology education a literature review This systematic review summarises the latest research on the use of augmented reality (AR) in biology education at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Searching Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, we found 40 empirical studies published up until early 2024. For each study, we analysed biological content, technical features, learning practices and pedagogical impact. AR is most used in human anatomy, particularly in the circulatory and respiratory systems, but also in genetics, cell biology, virology, botany, ecology and molecular processes. Mobile devices dominate as a mediation platform, with marker-based tracking and either commercial apps or self-developed Unity/Vuforia solutions. Almost all studies embed AR in constructivist or inquiry-based pedagogies, and report improved motivation, engagement and conceptual understanding. Nevertheless, reporting on the technical details is inconsistent and the long-term effects are not yet sufficiently researched. AR should therefore be viewed as a pedagogical tool rather than a technological goal that requires careful instructional design and equitable access to ensure meaningful and sustainable learning. augmented reality (AR) biology teaching educational technology learning practice obogatena resničnost poučevanje biologije izobraževalna tehnologija učna praksa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-12-16 14:22:59 2025-12-16 14:22:59 2025-12-17 03:14:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 16 str. št.. 22, članek št. 117 Letn. 9 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2025-11-20 2025-11-25 37.091.3:57 261708547 10.3390/mti9120117 2414-4088 RAZ_Stanic_Katja_2025.pdf RAZ_Stanic_Katja_2025.pdf 1 DF78CAEB5BB28ADABF4C9C81AFEA9247 c1fd93e3582a931529648a689c091f7ae3760670690f12af6adedd8358688b9e 0f3f8473-da83-11f0-8768-00155d580e02 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201490 https://doi.org/10.3390/mti9120117 1 5784879f-da82-11f0-8768-00155d580e02 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201489 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
