The augmented reality experience is becoming increasingly popular, especially among today's digital-born generation who have technology permeating almost every aspect of their lives. Because of its capacity to augment computer-generated graphics into the natural environment on screen, several research has been conducted to determine the benefits and challenges of this advanced technology in educational settings. This study intended to provide the current state of augmented reality literature in education. Specifically, this study attempts to identify research gaps and suggest future research directions. A total of forty-nine articles that were published in scientific journals between 2017 and 2022 were obtained using Scopus and categorized as Q1 to Q4 journals were analyzed for this study. The findings provide the current trends in the application of augmented reality in education, the impact of this technology on learning processes, and opportunities and challenges for educators and students. Based on the data, augmented reality is maturing in some countries and has successfully taken root in education today.
