Keywords:
Augmented Reality, Advantages, Challenges, Mathematics, GeometryAbstract
The evolution of technology has become an essential part of life, especially in education. Technology in education continues to evolve with innovative learning approaches that aim to meet the needs of the 21st-century learning environment. The use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology is among the key transformations in education. The integration of AR in mathematics education enriches learning experiences and addresses multiple educational challenges by making abstract concepts more accessible and engaging to students. AR is a technology that blends digital elements with the real world, enabling students to interact visually and manipulate geometrical objects. This technology fosters an interactive learning environment that enables teachers to effectively guide their students in understanding geometric concepts. Thus, this research aims to systematically review the latest literature on the use of AR technology in mathematics education, specifically in learning geometry, and to explore its advantages and challenges. The methodology of this study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach, using two databases: Scopus and Web of Science. This study analyzed publications from 2022 to March 2025, with a total of 31 selected articles. The findings indicate an increasing trend in the use of AR technology in learning geometry, with secondary school students being the most frequently studied population by previous researchers. The review identified several advantages of AR technology, including improvements in achievement and learning outcomes, enhanced visualization and spatial skills, increased motivation and interest, support for student-centered learning, development of problem-solving abilities, and improved memory retention. However, the review also identified several challenges in applying AR, including technical and resource limitations, pedagogical barriers, and learner-related challenges.
