Özet:

 The aim of this study is to identify current trends in augmented reality AR themes in science education. To this end, an analysis was conducted using the Web of Science WoS database. A bibliometric approach was adopted to identify, systematically map, and reveal the intellectual relationships in the field of scientific innovation, and the analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer software. Within the scope of this study, 107 WOS publications were scanned and selected to answer questions such as who are the authors who have conducted the most academic studies, who have received the most citations, etc. According to the findings, it was observed that most of the studies on AR were in the Education Educational Research category. It was determined that studies on AR in science education began in 2012, continued with an increasing trend, and have recently seen a decline again. The most frequently used keywords are, in order, augmented reality, science education, virtual reality, mixed reality, mobile learning, and higher education. Another finding is that the most frequently repeated words in the abstracts of the relevant articles are, in order, experience, application, group, knowledge, and teaching.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, fen eğitiminde artırılmış gerçeklik AG temaları üzerine mevcut eğilimlerin belirlenmesidir. Bu hedef doğrultusunda, Web of Science WoS veri tabanı kullanılarak bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bilimsel yenilik alanındaki araştırma eğilimlerini tanımlamak, sistematik bir şekilde haritalamak ve bu alandaki entelektüel ilişkileri ortaya koymak amacıyla bibliyometrik bir yaklaşım benimsenmiş ve VOSviewer yazılımı ile ulaşılan veriler analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında 107 adet WOS yayını taranıp seçilerek en fazla akademik çalışmayı yürüten, en fazla atıf alan yazarlar vb.. gibi sorulara yanıt aranmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, AG konusunda yapılan çalışmaların çoğunlukla Education Educational Research kategorisinde yer aldığı görülmektedir. Fen eğitiminde AG konusu üzerine yapılan çalışmaların 2012 yılında başladığı, öncelikle artan bir eğilimle devam ettiği ve son yıllarda ise tekrar bir azalmanın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sıklıkla kullanılan anahtar kelimeler ise sırasıyla artırılmış gerçeklik, fen eğitimi, sanal gerçeklik, karma gerçeklik, mobil öğrenme ve yükseköğretimdir. Bir diğer bulgu ise ilgili makalelerin özetlerinde en sık tekrarlanan kelimelerin sırasıyla deneyim, uygulama, grup, bilgi ve öğretim olduğudur.
