Abstract

The objective of this review paper is to identify the state of the art in the use of Augmented Reality (AR) for construction management (CM) student education and highlight areas for future research. A literature search was conducted within the Web of Science, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC (EBSCO)), Compendex, and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) databases, and International Journal of Construction Education and Research (IJCER). A keyword string including ‘Augmented Reality’, AND ‘Construction Management’ AND ‘Education’, was used to search for articles published from 2013 to 2023. In addition to using inclusion and exclusion criteria, a manual review of paper abstracts was performed to select the articles for the final analysis. Bibliometric analysis of the papers was utilized to determine the frequency of articles published during the 2013-2023 period, the journals in which the most papers were published, and the most cited papers. Analysis of the co-occurrence of the keywords used in these papers was performed to identify the previous research focus areas and propose future research directions related to the use of AR in CM education. Current state of the art of the AR use in CM education includes virtual site inspections, simulating construction sites, three-dimensional (3D) construction project visualization, collaborative learning environments, and interactive training programs. Future research on AR-based CM education should investigate the impact of AR on students’ performance and knowledge retention; the effectiveness of using AR applications in a user-friendly environment where all students feel supported and engaged; using different building assemblies to create an authentic experience for the students through AR by overlaying digital models on physical assemblies; and creating an adaptive learning approach with AR integration to meet individual students’ needs and foster their learning. The contribution of this review study lies in providing the current state of the art in AR applications in CM education as well as future research directions for the integration of AR into CM education.
