Augmented reality offers a great potential in teaching and learning through enhancing situated cognition and building indirect experience. However, existing systematic reviews are limited to studies conducted outside of Korea and fail to reflect the Korean trends. This study attempts to understand the augmented reality trends of educational research in Korea through a systematic review. The content types are also reviewed regarding situated learning. The results show that Korean studies tend to target preK-12 while many global research focus on K-16. In addition to Humanities & Arts and Science, Korean studies explored in special education. Concerning educational effects, numerous Korean studies investigated on individual learning and less focused on collaborative or situated learning. Moreover, many Korean studies used object-controlling contents. Lastly, challenges and suggestions for future research are addressed.

Electrocution is one of the key components affecting the mortality of birds. Various electrocution-decreasing methods refer to two directions: safe perching with insulation versus perching restriction. In Yesan County, we have reintroduced 30 oriental storks (Ciconia boyciana) since 2015. Two female storks died due to electrocution while perching in a utility pole in 2016. To reduce such electrocution mortality in storks, a branch of Korea Electric Power Corporation partly installed insulators in 630 utility poles located in the major habitats of Yesan in 2016-2017. Simultaneously, we conducted an experiment to reduce the perching events using 8 captive storks and the two types of common utility poles along with/without the installation of bird-spikes and/or wires in Mar-Jun of 2017. Our results indicated the installation of additional wires alone exhibited a lack of reduction in perching, while those of bird-spikes or both significantly decreased their perching frequencies. Therefore, the present study highlights the installation of bird spikes on top of utility poles may elicit a better effect so that storks avoid perching in utility poles, presumably resulting in lowering potential electrocution in the wild.
