Description
Summary:A more interactive learning environment is made possible by the metaverse, a made-up world with vastly expanding digital spaces. The metaverse is a development in synchronous communication that enables many users to share different experiences. This study proposes a research framework for adopting metaverse in education. A systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology identified seventy-three research papers on metaverse and education. Also, this research provided various applications, challenges, dominant themes of research, and future perspectives of a metaverse in education. The proposed framework discusses multiple drivers for adopting a metaverse in education. There are few papers in the metaverse for education, so this research tries to fill the gap. This research also proposed twenty-seven future research questions which can addressed by future researchers. This research will benefit students and teachers across universities/ colleges and schools.
