Abstract

In this study, a literature review was conducted on the trends in applying mixed reality (MR) technologies to education over the past decade (2011–2021) and to examine the learning outcomes achieved. This in-depth research project and examination included 64 articles in total, and an integrated analysis was performed based on six dimensions: year of publication, research discipline, educational stage of subjects, location of experimental subjects, learning orientation, and experimental design. The research results indicated that MR was mostly applied to teaching, practical training, and auxiliary experiences in the fields of health and wellbeing and science took the form of using simulation experiences during teaching and practical training and assisting students in visualizing abstract concepts. To improve students’ learning cognition and enhance their practical abilities. In addition, relevant suggestions for mixed reality in education future research are proposed. The experimental data compiled in this study can be used for follow-up analysis, which will clarify the key moderating variables affecting the effectiveness of the application of MR technologies to teaching.
