Metaverse, Education, Systemic Review, Bibliometric Mapping AnalysisAbstract
The metaverse is a virtual reality space that provides a novel and significant environment, fostering educational opportunities and serving as a rich platform for innovative forms of learning. This bibliometric analysis uses the Scopus database as a source for review, employing the PRISMA method to identify 270 articles, with visualisation analysis conducted using VOSviewer. The results show an increasing trend in the number of published articles since 2020, with significant contributions from South Korea, China, United States, and United Kingdom. Common keywords in the realm of metaverse and education research include "virtual reality," "augmented reality," and "artificial intelligence." Currently, the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies has significantly enhanced educational outcomes and student motivation in medicine, engineering, and primary education. The potential of metaverse technology in education is highly promising. Through innovative and immersive experiences, the metaverse is poised to become a sustainable educational medium, unrestricted by time and space.References
