Metaverse in education: A systematic literature review

Abstract

AbstractThis article presents a summary of the prior studies on the use of the metaverse in the sector of education using a systematic literature review. The bibliometric analysis of this study is used to analyse published works in order to pinpoint the leading experts in the field, important subtopics, and potential research prospects. We also identify the most significant articles as well as patterns and clusters of related subjects. Our main findings showed that the three phrases “education,” “application,” and “metaverse” occurred most frequently and were connected to one another. The analysis part shows that concepts such as “challenge,” “teaching,” and “knowledge” have not been thoroughly researched. This research also emphasises the significance of appropriate learning settings, class layouts, the development of didactic strategies, and teacher preparation programmes. Finally, the results also present recommendations for future research in this field and provides an in-depth look at the potential uses of metaverses in education.
