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 1615-5289 https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11743 10.1007/s10209-025-01290-8 1615-5297 Augmented reality (AR) Stories Storytelling Narratives Research synthesis Learning design Augmented reality for story-related activities in primary and secondary education: a systematic review
