Abstract
The aim of the research presented in this paper is to support the hypothesis that augmented reality is a good educational tool compared to the traditional ways of learning. In order to understand the level of knowledge, attitude and preferences towards the use of augmented reality (AR) in education in the Republic of Macedonia, we have conducted a survey where we designed several questions and examples that helped us to collect initial insights on the topic. The second part of the study was a practical experiment showing us that regardless of the environment, children prefer this visual way of studying compared to the traditional one. The AR applications used in this experiment were Skyview, Augment and Anatomy 4D, introduced to two classes of 6–8 and 10–12 years old. Additionally, AR applications were used by two children with dyslexia, 9 and 12 years old.
