Additionally, Augmented Reality (AR) is a tool that receives significant attention globally. Recognizing this trend, researchers have been seeking ways to integrate story-related activities with AR in educational contexts. This paper presents a systematic literature review focusing on the use of AR in story-related activities within primary and secondary education. By conducting a systematic search of studies published in the past 5 years between 2019 and 2024, 264 relevant papers were initially identified. After applying inclusion, exclusion and quality criteria, 39 studies were selected for in-depth analysis. Framed by the principles of learning experience design, this review explores how AR is integrated into story-based educational practices, highlighting its current applications, benefits, and barriers. Additionally, the review critically reflects on the need to prioritise pedagogy over technological features when designing AR-enhanced learning experiences. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and practical insights for educators aiming to incorporate AR into story-related educational activities This work has been funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, funding number: 2023-1-MT01- KA220-SCH-000154134 (Project: CARS: Children as Creators of Augmented Reality Stories) application/pdf eng Springer Nature Universal Access in the Information Society. 2026, V. 25, n. 1 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10209-025-01290-8 Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Augmented reality (AR) Stories Storytelling Narratives Research synthesis Learning design Realidad aumentada Augmented reality Educación Education Augmented reality for story-related activities in primary and secondary education: a systematic review info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Universal Access in the Information Society 25 1
