“…With the support of high-speed networks such as 5G/6G, users can use smart wearable devices (e.g., headsets or glasses) to enter the metaverse world instantly without being constrained by either time or location ( Ayiter, 2019 ; Prieto et al, 2022 ). From this point of view, it realizes free and rapid access for users by switching between the real world and the virtual world remotely and seamlessly.…”

“…In addition, the digital space with some game-like attributes (e.g., avatar, NPC, or digital items) can be configured to initiate activities more like inquiry-based or problem-solving tasks ( Nevelsteen, 2017 ). Further, the metaverse can offer a decentralized and editable creation space, it can facilitate creative learning activities where learners are able to create virtual works ( Choi and Kim, 2017 ; Ayiter, 2019 ); meanwhile, it also implies learners can revise and withdraw their actions during the learning procedure aligning with the philosophy of learning from mistakes ( Prieto et al, 2022 ).…”

The declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic forced humanity to rethink how we teach and learn. The metaverse, a 3D digital space mixed with the real world and the virtual world, has been heralded as a trend of future education with great potential. However, as an emerging item, rarely did the existing study discuss the metaverse from the perspective of education. In this paper, we first introduce the visions of the metaverse, including its origin, definitions, and shared features. Then, the metaverse in education is clearly defined, and a detailed framework of the metaverse in education is proposed, along with in-depth discussions of its features. In addition, four potential applications of the metaverse in education are described with reasons and cases: blended learning, language learning, competence-based education, and inclusive education. Moreover, challenges of the metaverse for educational purposes are also presented. Finally, a range of research topics related to the metaverse in education is proposed for future studies. We hope that, via this research paper, researchers with both computer science and educational technology backgrounds could have a clear vision of the metaverse in education and provide a stepping stone for future studies. We also expect more researchers interested in this topic can commence their studies inspired by this paper.

The development of online learning depends on the development and progress of the Internet technology. Meanwhile, metaverse is considered to be a new generation of the Internet that will drive a new iteration of the Internet era. Integrating the metaverse concept into online learning will surely bring a profound revolution to the latter. In 2020, with the outbreak of the epidemic, online learning has become an important learning method for the majority of students studying in universities. However, the effectiveness of online learning is highly concerned and questioned. This study elaborates the connotation and spatial characteristics of metaverse technology, relies on its features and advantages, makes a specific analysis of the inner logic of metaverse integration into online learning, and creates an embodied learning context, immersive learning context, and interactive learning context for online learning according to the current situation of students' online learning, and proposes metaverse online learning context optimization strategies in terms of both classroom teaching optimization and policy optimization, with a view to improving students' online learning effectiveness.

“…Bu sebeple ilk aşamalarda işlevinden başka hiçbir sıfatı olmayan ve yalnızlık, anonimlik, tüketim gibi yapıların bir araya geldiği bir dünya olarak algılanması mümkündür. Ayrıca yaratımında geçiciliği ya da büyük anlamlar taşıması amaçlanmamıştır (Ayiter, 2019). Augé ve Ayiter de Calogne gibi Metaverse'ü yeterince gelişmiş bir teknoloji olarak görmemektedir, onlara göre Metaverse daha çok günlük yaşam içinde sosyalleşmenin yeni aracısıdır.…”

First defined fictionally in 1992, "Metaverse" is a new universe model in which individuals feel themselves mentally when considered together with today's technology. This universe, which has been included in daily life starting from cyber experiences, the first examples of which are based on digital game technology, has been accepted as the "future of the internet" by many experts and institutions as the attention of big technology companies has shifted to this field. Online life, which started to enter the life of human beings with cyber reality, has taken another dimension with the “Metaverse” and settled at a point where the real world and the cyber world intersect, but beyond both, even taking over the physical reality. Metaverse, which is considered as the continuation of the online process included in all areas of life, especially with the New Coronavirus Pandemic; can be defined as a cognitive transfer of physical knowledge, skills, and experiences. Metaverse, which opens functional areas of experience to its users in many fields from medicine to art, can create a new society that is an alternative to the traditional social order due to its decentralization. In this respect, it also decentralizes the elements that determine sociality such as identity and space. Working on the axis of the stated, Metaverse technology and its innovations, from the individual to the society within the framework of the elements that make up the social; has been questioned on the axis of space, identity, and society, and considering the potential of Metaverse to increase intercultural interaction, it has been concluded that the new community consciousness will be formed in a much different area than the old one and around completely different values.
