Abstract

The transformation of learning media in elementary schools has undergone a significant evolution, moving from a reliance on physical props to the utilization of immersive technologies. This review article aims to analyze this paradigm shift, starting from the use of static visual media to the adoption of Augmented Reality (AR). Through a literature review of various recent studies, the analysis focuses on how interactive digital platforms and gamification act as a transitional bridge before reaching the stage of AR technology, which is capable of visualizing abstract concepts in real-time. The analysis reveals that the shift to AR does not only replace the role of physical props in terms of cost and space efficiency but also provides a superior impact on enhancing student engagement, reducing cognitive load, and fostering deeper conceptual understanding. This review concludes that digital transformation in elementary schools is a crucial step in creating an adaptive and futuristic learning environment for Generation Alpha.

Abstract

Gamification has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in science and technology education. This narrative review explores current implementation trends and educator perspectives by analyzing 28 selected articles published between 2016 and 2024. The study identifies key technological trends, including the integration of Virtual Reality (VR), game-based physics simulations, and Education 4.0 tools. The findings indicate that gamification significantly enhances student motivation, academic achievement, and engagement in complex scientific subjects. Furthermore, the review highlights educator perspectives, revealing that while teachers generally perceive gamification as a potent methodology, its adoption is often hindered by barriers such as limited digital self-efficacy, technical constraints, and the need for specialized training. The synthesis suggests that a successful gamified ecosystem requires a balance between immersive technology and robust pedagogical support. This review provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to integrate gamified strategies into STEM curricula to foster 21st-century skills.
