In recent years, the innovative applications of integrated augmented reality (AR) into educational settings had increased rapidly in Taiwan. AR provides the scene of the real world while interacting with the virtual and physical objects and increases students' learning motivation. This paper presents an empirical study that investigated the middle-school students learning health education courses related to human body structure knowledge integrating AR technology with different learning style preferences. A two-way t-test was applied to examine the experimental (AR-based) or control (traditional lecture) group in health education courses for four consecutive weeks, comparing with pre-test and post-test scores. The findings revealed that students in the AR experimental group apparently had a higher learning achievement than the students in the control group. Moreover, students with different learning styles had the significant differences in learning achievement. The research outcomes provided the practical implications for educators in incorporating AR applications for enhancing learning motivation and to study the differences in students' learning style.

Augmented Reality (AR) appears as a promising technology to improve students motivation and interest and support the learning and teaching process in educational contexts. We present the collaborative development of an AR application to support the teaching of the digestive and circulatory systems. We developed this system with the support of a private Spanish school. The main objective of the application is to show the student in primary school, in the most accurate way, digestive and circulatory systems. By other hand, we also develop our own AR library, HUMANAR, in order to ensure the integration of AR into our game engine and to overcome some drawbacks present in some public libraries. Moreover, our system provides several advantages over the traditional learning as books, videos or practice with animal organs.

A NEW TEACHING / LEARNING PLATFORM BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGY: DIDACTICAL SCENARIO 1
Information and Communication Technology in Natural Science Education – 2007 , 2007
The process of creating a teaching/learning platform based on the idea of Augmented Reality is an innovative technology aimed at implementing links between the real and virtual world. The technology developed by the ARiSE project focuses on offering conditions for customers not only to observe a combined view (real and virtual) but also to directly interact with the real world (real objects). It is likely that the approach learning by doing is more effectively realized in the educational process. The article introduces a didactical scenario of teaching/learning module 1 - Biology: the Human Digestive System. – prepared for implementation using the AR platform. The paper presents the classification of real objects and virtual augmentations and describes students’ possibilities of communication and collaboration applying the platform. Apart from technical arrangements (finding effective solutions to the technical questions on the platform), didactical decisions play a crucial role. The platform discussed in the teaching/learning platform cannot be efficiently employed without didactical reasoning. Creating teaching/learning modules and constructing didactical scenarios of practicing the modules is one of the main conditions to use the above mentioned innovative technology in the educational practice.
The role of augmented reality in Anatomical education: An overview
Annals of Anatomy-anatomischer Anzeiger, 2020
Background: The outcomes of the implementation of augmented reality (AR) in anatomical education have not been reviewed so far. We performed a narrative review of the literature concerning these outcomes. Methods: We searched in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, ERIC, CINAHL plus and Web of Science for papers with the aim to explore the outcomes of the implementation of AR in anatomical education. From each paper, we extracted the following data: authors, year of publication, type of study (comparative or not), number of participants, level of outcome according to Kirkpatrick hierarchy, acceptability of AR, impact on examinations performance, ability to facilitate understanding of spatial organization of structures and to motivate students to learn anatomy. Results: Seven papers were eligible for analysis. There were five comparative and two non-comparative studies. Three studies evaluated only students' perceptions about AR, while four papers assessed their examinations performance after the application of AR. Generally, AR was proved a highly acceptable and enjoyable anatomy teaching tool. It had remarkable efficacy in terms of helping students understand three-dimensional organization of structures and achieve satisfactory examinations results. Conclusions: Although the research concerning the implementation of AR in anatomical education is relatively limited, there are promising results regarding the teaching potential of AR. These results could encourage anatomy educators to include this tool in their teaching methods. Randomized controlled studies are needed to prove if AR could effectively replace or supplement other anatomy pedagogy methods.

The Potential of Augmented Reality in Education: A review of Previous Research
Proceeding of 5th International Graduate Conference on Engineering Science & Humanity 2014 (IGCESH 2014), 2014
Technology in education can influence students to learn actively and motivate them, leading to an effective process of learning. Previous research has identified the problem that technology will create a passive learning process if the technology used does not promote critical thinking, meaning making or metacognition. Augmented reality (AR) has been introduced and shown to have good potential in making the learning process more active, effective and meaningful. This is because its advanced technology enables users to interact with virtual and real-time applications and bring the natural experiences to the user. In addition, the merging of AR in education has recently attracted research attention because of its ability to allow students to be immersed in realistic experiences. Therefore, this concept paper reviews the research that has been conducted on AR. The review describes the application of AR in a number of fields of study including medicine, chemistry, mathematics, physics, geography, biology, astronomy and history. This article also discusses the advantages of AR compared to traditional technology (such as e-learning and courseware) and traditional teaching methods (traditional books). The review of the results of the previous research shows that, overall AR technologies have a positive potential and has advantages that can be adapted in education. The review also indicates the limitations of AR which can be overcome in future research.
