Abstract
The purpose of this systematic study was to examine the impact of augmented reality (AR) technology on students’ problem-solving skills and to determine how this technology contributes to improving their ability to solve complex problems. To achieve this goal, an extensive search was conducted in reputable scientific databases, including Scopus and Web of Science, and based on rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, nine relevant studies were selected and thoroughly analyzed. The results revealed that augmented reality has a positive effect on student learning; specifically, this technology enhances conceptual understanding, strengthens critical thinking, increases learning motivation, and improves problem-solving performance. By creating interactive and engaging learning environments, AR facilitates active and collaborative learning, although challenges such as technical limitations and the need for teacher training were also identified. In light of these findings, the use of augmented reality as an innovative and powerful educational tool can bring about a significant transformation in the learning process and the development of students’ problem-solving skills. Therefore, the implementation of this technology in educational settings is strongly recommended.
