Abstract:

In today’s rapidly evolving society, individual adaptation and social integration are essential prerequisites for the harmonious functioning of the social fabric. The cultivation of cooperation and critical thinking from an early age plays a crucial role in social inclusion, making educational institutions responsible for providing appropriate infrastructure that supports the development of these skills. One of the most innovative technologies that can be utilized in the educational sector is Augmented Reality (AR). Its integration into the teaching process offers new possibilities, making learning more engaging and effective through the creation of interactive and experiential experiences. AR has the potential to transform traditional teaching methods into a dynamic educational experience by merging the physical and virtual worlds in real time. Within the framework of collaborative learning, the use of AR will be explored as a means of enhancing group activities, aiming to promote active participation and effective communication among students. Investigating the extent to which this technology can strengthen collaborative learning skills constitutes a significant research field, with promising prospects for reshaping modern pedagogical practices.
