A Critical Review on Increasing Student’s Motivation in Science Subject Using Augmented Reality

A critical review of literature was conducted to examine the student’s motivation level in science subject using Augmented Reality (AR). Augmented Reality technology is used widely because it allows enhancing the understanding of complex concept at most educational levels. The two main primary approaches used to review of literature are the topical and critical review approaches. This article mainly discusses about the critical review that was carried out using 5 steps method. The methods are (1) exhibiting a research objective and research question, (2) evaluating sample of sources in the literature observed, (3) analyzing the data that was collected, (4) interpreting the findings from critical analysis using descriptive statistics and finally, (5) discussing effects and implications from these results that were identified. The author collected total number of 45 articles from index journal and 14 articles are chosen after sorting. The critical review made the author to determine 4 main themes which were constructed into a conceptual framework based on continuity. This critical review gives benefit to learners to improve the level of motivation in learning using AR. Overall, the result shows Augmented Reality in teacher education is considered very valuable and should be implemented in pedagogical problem-solving skills, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology in future studies.
