Applying Gamification Technique and Virtual Reality for Prehistoric Learning toward the Metaverse

Abstract

Technological development provides many benefits in learning process, such as the development of the learning method, media, strategy, and design. Based on the observation had been done at History department, UNDIKSHA showed that the students had problems in learning process especially in Indonesian Prehistory Course. The lecturer still focused on teacher-centered method and book only without using technological development. That is why, students’ interest, motivation, and understanding towards the learning process could be categorized as low. This research aimed to describe the implementation of gamification technique and virtual reality in developing an educational game to help students in recognizing the prehistoric objects, increasing the students’ motivation and activeness, and giving immersive experience learning toward the metaverse. This research used ADDIE Model method and was analyzed by using descriptive quantitative and qualitative. The subjects were 20 students of the History department at UNDIKSHA. The result showed that the average response of the 20 users was 91.81% which could be categorized as very positive. The effect score was 0.80 which could be categorized as very effective. It was counted by using N-Gain Score. So, gamification based on virtual reality could increase the students’ activeness, interest, motivation, and understanding toward the prehistoric objects.

The Effect of Augmented Reality Mobile Application on Visitor Impact Mediated by Rational Hedonism: Evidence from Subak Museum

“…It provides visitors with information, which is upto-date, complete, simply comprehensible, and matches the information requirement enhances a visitor's degree of satisfaction. So, AR technology helps museums obtain attractiveness by facilitating visitors to achieve experiences that are concurrently aesthetically educational and entertainment [86].…”

Exploring the Mediating Role of Different Aspects of Learning Motivation between Metaverse Learning Experiences and Gamification

“…Research discussions on gamification in metaverse learning are relatively limited, but recent studies have begun to explore this area [10,[36][37][38]. For instance, Muthmainnah et al's research suggests that gamification elements in metaverse learning scenarios positively impact student engagement, transforming learning into an enjoyable experience [10].…”

“…For instance, Muthmainnah et al's research suggests that gamification elements in metaverse learning scenarios positively impact student engagement, transforming learning into an enjoyable experience [10]. Agustini et al's study found that gamification enhances student motivation and initiative, providing students with a more immersive learning experience in metaverse settings [37].…”

Mapping Metaverse Research: Identifying Future Research Areas Based on Bibliometric and Topic Modeling Techniques

“…It is apparent from the network that the red cluster is the most significant, as it contains the highest number of keywords. This cluster focuses on the intersection of immersive technologies, education, and the implications of the metaverse on the human experience [3,6,105]. This multifaceted concentration encompasses various dimensions, including the development and deployment of VR, AR, and MR technologies as well as the rise of XR as a unified framework [106,107].…”
