Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the articles published on Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) research in the field of education. This study also aims to provide more comprehensive information on research trends by conducting a systematic review based on bibliometric analysis data. Therefore, this study was designed according to the multiple research methods. In this direction, bibliometric analysis was conducted first. After the bibliometric analysis, the systematic review technique was used to evaluate the most cited studies. VOSviewer was used to analyze bibliometric data, and the MaxQda program was used to analyze systematic review data. In this study, the findings showed that educational research conducted with AR and VR started to be conducted in the 1990s. On the other hand, it was determined that the integration of MR research into education began in the mid-2000s. The findings showed that the keywords virtual reality, augmented reality, education, medical education, simulation, and mixed reality, respectively, were used more in the studies found in Web of Science. Also, it was observed that research on AR, VR, and MR was mostly conducted in the United States of America and China. On the other hand, it was concluded that the studies were published more in "Education and Information Technology" and "Interactive Learning Environment" journals. Three publications by Guido Makransky ranked in the top ten regarding the number of citations. Similarly, Makransky ranked first among the authors who published the most articles. Finally, it was observed that the studies conducted with these technologies were mostly written by two, three, and four authors.
