The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of augmented reality technology based environmental literacy training program on the knowledge, attitude and behavior of high school students. The population of this study consisted of all high school students of Tehran who were studying in the year 1396-97. The sample was selected by non-random sampling method and divided into two groups of 20 (experimental and control groups). The research method was quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest with control group). First, the environmental literacy test was used as a pre-test. Then the mobile tools were provided to the experimental group to perform augmented reality, and control group were presented in the traditional environment. After completing the teaching process in both groups, the environmental literacy questionnaire was used again, and its results were compared. Covariance analysis and multivariate analysis of variance were used for data analysis. The results showed that environmental literacy education based on augmented reality technology had a positive effect on the knowledge, attitude and environmental behavior of high school students and it can be used as a useful tool in education.
