Published: Oct. 11, 2022

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

A Systematic Review of the Technology Acceptance Model for the Sustainability of Higher Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Identified Research Gaps

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(18), P. 11389 - 11389

Published: Sept. 10, 2022

Over the past three decades, Technology Acceptance model (TAM) has garnered considerable attention in higher education. COVID-19 boosted development of TAM as multiple studies were rapidly undertaken during pandemic. This, however, created a gap our current understanding directions and trends advancement. The purpose this study is to obtain insight into advancement throughout It would assist researchers comprehending direction education, such gaining an prevalent external variables for TAM, statistical analysis employed, research methodologies, technologies studied, geographic location conducted. Finally, gaps future are presented. A systematic review utilizing PRISMA was conducted on 104 sampled publications. found that self-efficacy, subjective norms, experience, enjoyment most frequently used while internal motivation received minimal attention. existing have focused mainly student samples, so further investigation needed lecturers, education personnel, mixed groups. Further also required qualitative methods, with partial least square structural equation currently dominating analysis. Future 5G, AI, cloud computing, augmented reality, virtual BYOD represent new TAM-related gaps. majority been Asian countries, China those southeast Asia. This literature provides trend sustainability pandemic, identified gaps, recommendations directions.
