Abstract The use of Augmented Reality (AR) in anatomical education has been promoted by numerous authors. Next to financial and ethical advantages, AR has been described to decrease cognitive load while increasing student motivation and engagement. Despite these advantages, the effects of AR on learning outcome varies in different studies and an overview and aggregated outcome on learning anatomy is lacking. Therefore, a meta-analysis on the effect of AR vs. traditional anatomical teaching methods on learning outcome was performed. Systematic database searches were conducted by two independent investigators using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. This yielded five papers for meta-analysis totaling 508 participants; 240 participants in the AR-groups and 268 participants in the control groups. (306 females/ 202 males). Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in anatomic test scores between the AR group and the control group (-0.765%; P=0.732). Sub analysis on the use of AR vs. the use of traditional 2D teaching methods showed a significant disadvantage when using AR (-5.685%; P=0.024). Meta-regression analysis showed no significant co-relation between mean difference in test results and spatial abilities (as assessed by the mental rotations test scores). Student motivation and/or engagement could not be included since studies used different assessment tools. This meta-analysis showed that insufficient evidence is present to conclude AR significantly impacts learning outcome and that outcomes are significantly impacted by students’ spatial abilities. However, only few papers were suitable for meta-analysis, indicating that there is a need for more well-designed, randomized-controlled trials on AR in anatomy education research.

<pre><span lang="IN">Learning three-dimensional shape of geometry is important for improving students’ spatial abilities. However, the concept of three-dimensional shape is still considered as one of difficult subject matters for teacher to teach and for student to understand in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to find an alternative way that can allow teachers and students to easily understand some concepts of geometry.  In this research, we try to implement mobile-based augmented reality in presenting three-dimensional geometry materials to help teachers and students of junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia.  The results show that by using mobile based augmented reality, teachers can teach three dimensional shape of geometry clearly and students could understand the concept of three-dimensional shape of geometry faster. In addition, students can learn the concept of geometry comprehensively through geometry objects that can be seen from all points of view and students' spatial activities are increased</span></pre>
