Abstract
In line with the needs emerging in education day by day, the integration of teaching technologies into education is becoming increasingly important. In this direction, instructional technologies are used to make education more effective and efficient. One of these technologies is Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality (AR) applications, an up-to-date application-based technology that adds extra virtual information in real time on the real world perception, can be used within the framework of the needs of students with special needs. Within the scope of this research, postgraduate theses and AR studies published in peer-reviewed journals, which aim to provide students with special needs with academic skills, were examined. While determining the studies to be included in this research basic selection criteria were employed. A comprehensive search was carried out on the basis of electronic databases, journal indexes and research references. In this direction, eight studies meeting the criteria were obtained. Articles and theses included in the research were evaluated with variables. When the research findings were examined, it was seen that augmented reality applications were used in the fields of mathematics, science and reading to teach basic academic skills to students with special needs, albeit limited. The research findings were discussed within the framework of the relevant literature and suggestions for further research were made.
