Abstract

Mobile augmented reality (AR) has evolved from an experimental visualization tool into a mature pedagogical medium that redefines spatial learning in geography education. By embedding digital content into authentic locations, AR fosters experiential and inquiry-driven learning aligned with geography’s spatial and environmental paradigms. Building on evidence from 2015 to 2025, this review synthesizes 138 studies to examine how AR supports cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning dimensions. The analysis reveals that AR enhances spatial reasoning, visualization of abstract processes, and place-based engagement when integrated within robust instructional design frameworks. However, persistent gaps remain in long-term learning assessment, scalability, and teacher competence for authoring AR experiences. Cognitive-load and motivation studies suggest that AR’s benefits are maximized when interactivity and spatial anchoring are balanced with scaffolding. The review proposes a multidimensional model linking technological affordances, pedagogical strategies, and geographic thinking to promote education for sustainability and digital spatial citizenship. Implications for researchers, educators, and developers are discussed to guide future cross-disciplinary innovations.

Abstract

Physical geography learning in positional astronomy topics requires strong spatial visualization and problem-solving skills; however, conventional instructional approaches often fail to adequately facilitate these needs. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using the Apple ecosystem in improving students’ problem-solving abilities within olympiad training on positional astronomy topics. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group model. The sample consisted of two groups of senior high school students in Gorontalo Province: an experimental group utilizing the Apple ecosystem and a control group receiving conventional instruction. Data were collected through problem-solving ability tests and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicate that the experimental group demonstrated a higher improvement in problem-solving skills compared to the control group. The use of the Apple ecosystem enabled visualization of solar positions, simulation of geographic coordinates, and interactive exploration of astronomical phenomena, which supported students in understanding abstract concepts. Technology-enhanced learning environments also increased learning engagement and analytical abilities in solving geography-related problems. These results suggest that structured digital technology integration can strengthen positional astronomy learning through more visual and exploratory learning experiences. This study implies that technology-based strategies can enhance olympiad training and contribute to the advancement of geography education aimed at developing higher-order thinking skills.
