Implementation of Augmented Reality Media in Physics Learning to Develop Students' Cognitive Abilities: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Augmented reality as a learning media has the ability to explain physics concepts contextually and concretely to students in three dimensions, so this study aims to identify the trend that influence the use of augmented reality Media in physics learning on the cognitive abilities of students. This research is composed of the results of a synthesis of the findings of previous research articles that are relevant in the 2017-2022 period. This study adapted systematic literature review method with Publish or Perish software, then filtered and extracted data according to the criteria for the research objectives to produce 47 relevant articles and compiled using PRISMA Protocol. From the results of several research syntheses, it was found that the use of augmented reality in physics learning can improve students' cognitive abilities which include self-efficacy, conceptual understanding, critical thinking, high order thinking, visual representation, abstract thinking, scientific literacy, creative thinking, computational thinking, reasoning and problem solving. In addition, the use of augmented reality media provides optimal learning outcomes for students and has a positive influence on affective abilities. Future research is expected to be able to present in depth the influence of augmented reality media in physics learning to develop students' affective abilities and attitudes.
