The Metaverse and Mathematics Education

Abstract

Digital reality technologies have the potential to transform the fields of education, remote work, marketing and economy, and the entertainment sector and begin to create an information communication paradigm. We can say that the new paradigm has begun to take shape around the Metaverse concept. This study was a literature review that investigated using the Metaverse in the field of mathematics education. The scope of this review was the studies, including the “Metaverse” keyword and “mathematics,” “mathematics education,” “teaching mathematics,” or “mathematics learning” keywords, which include the studies listed in Web of Science, Scopus, Academia, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. The authors examined the purpose of the studies, the scope of the studies, using technology in the studies, the research method of the studies, and the findings of the studies on teaching mathematics in the Metaverse environment. They presented a discussion of the possible advantages and disadvantages that mathematics education could offer.

International case study: The metaverse in the classical high school

“…Furthermore, the continuous reflection on the learning experiences has contributed to greater awareness on the part of the students with respect to the entire path followed (Cowan, 2006;Kolb, 1984;Virtue & Hinnant-Crawford, 2019). Naturally, not all the children nor the teachers were familiar with virtual reality or the metaverse, however its use, despite the initial perplexities, helped to develop a flexible mentality in everyone (Asiksoy, 2023;Eşin, & Özdemir, 2022;Göçen, 2022;Kye, 2021;Topraklıkoğlu & Öztürk, 2023).…”

“…Metaverse adoption for learning and education is the third discipline. This discipline has several subfields, including adoption among school students [8], [42], [71], [73] university students [6], [7], [13], [38], [40], [54], [55], [58], [67], [72], [76], [80], [81] and adoption teachers/professors [20], [21], [58], [68]. Businesses and industries need a workforce prepared to address Metaverse issues, which requires new management and organizational leadership paradigms [72].…”

“…On the other hand, he is also capable of experiencing the phenomenon in its entirety. By physically visiting and interacting with the objects, they learn about them through virtual reality [76]. Major corporations worldwide are beginning to take notice of the technology known as the metaverse.…”
