In the educational environment of the post-COVID-19 era, metaverse learning, which can improve the disadvantages of online learning and improve learning outcomes, is attracting attention. Metaverse is expected to play an important role as a learning experience platform (LXP) that can provide immersion and experience for learners. In order to successfully introduce and utilize metaverse learning that utilizes the metaverse platform, teachers' knowledge of metaverse-related technologies and pedagogical convergence is important. So far, teacher knowledge for educational use of the metaverse has not been explored. In this regard, this study explored the TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical And Content Knowledge) framework as a teacher's knowledge system for metaverse learning. Based on this, this study designed the class contents of metaverse learning. The results of this study are expected to diffuse the importance of TPACK required for metaverse learning and contribute to the development of teachers' competence.

This study aims to develop and apply a metaverse-based instructional design model for the education in science and technology. It analyzed the concept and characteristics of metaverse, existing non-contact education models, and major teaching strategies systematically. Based on the prior researches, an instructional design model using metaverse is developed that presents metaverse-related teaching strategies and design principles for the before-, during-, and after-lesson phases. Then, this model was applied to a project-based learning program, conducted a perception survey on instructors and learners, and revised the metaverse instructional design model based on the results of the survey. In the Metaverse Instructional Design Model, before-lesson phase is a physical and psychological preparation stage for class participation, which includes familiarization with the Metaverse learning environment, formation of expectations for education, and self-directed pre-learning. During the lesson, to effectively deliver the lesson content, it is necessary to build confidence in the learning environment, promote learning participation, provide reference materials, perform team projects and provide feedback, digest learning content, and transfer learning content. The after-lesson phase provides strategies for ongoing interaction between learners and mentors. This study introduces a new instructional design model that utilizes metaverse and shows the potential of metaverse-based education in science and technology. It also has important implications in that it provides practical guidelines for the effective design and implementation of metaverse-based education.

The recent development of metaverse-related technology has led to efforts to overcome the limitations of time and space in education by creating a virtual educational environment. To make use of this platform efficiently, applying learning analytics has been proposed as an optimal instructional and learning decision support approach to address these issues by identifying specific rules and patterns generated from learning data, and providing a systematic framework as a guideline to instructors. To achieve this, we employed an inductive, bottom-up approach for framework modeling. During the modeling process, based on the activity system model, we specifically derived the fundamental components of the learning analytics framework centered on learning activities and their contexts. We developed a prototype of the framework through deduplication, categorization, and proceduralization from the components, and refined the learning analytics framework into a 7-stage framework suitable for application in the metaverse through 3 steps of Delphi surveys. Lastly, through a framework model evaluation consisting of seven items, we validated the metaverse learning analytics framework, ensuring its validity.

This paper presents a case study in which a lesson was designed and applied to enhance preservice home economics teachers' instructional design competence using the metaverse. For 15 weeks from March 6 to June 14, 14 students enrolled on the course 'Multimedia Home Economics Education' for preservice home economics teachers used the metaverse to engage in problem-based learning to solve instructional design problems in home economics classes. In accordance with the ADDIE design model, in the analysis stage, we assessed preservice home economics teachers' level of knowledge of lessons using the metaverse, and their perceptions of the possibility, necessity, and usefulness of using the metaverse in home economics lessons. In the design and development stage, lesson plans, questions for problem-based learning, assessment tools, and teaching and learning materials were developed. The implementation was conducted in parallel with training on understanding multimedia and the metaverse, and instructional design competence was evaluated through pre- and post-testing and reflection journals. The results revealed that the preservice home economics teachers acquired a good understanding of lessons using the metaverse, learned how to design lessons for self-directed learning by applying the metaverse to their home and classroom, and gained confidence in applying it to their teaching practice or in-service work. It is expected that the results of this study will be used as support materials for prospective and current home economics teachers to design home economics lessons using the metaverse, thereby expanding the horizons of home economics education.

코로나19(COVID-19)로 인해 사회·경제·문화 등 일상생활이 근본적으로 변화되고 있으며 인공지능, 데이터, 클라우드 등 정보기술(IT)을 기반으로 하는 디지털 전환(digital transformation)이 가속화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상세계(virtual world)와 현실세계(real world)의 상호작용을 기반으로 하는 메타버스(Metaverse)에 주목하고 메타버스 기반 플랫폼을 교육적으로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 탐색하였다. 메타버스 기반 플랫폼을 온라인 교육 생태계 관점에서 접근했으며 이는 단순히 온라인 교수·학습 활동 뿐만 아니라 메타버스 내에서 학습, 소통, 공감 등의 전인적 교육 활동이 함께 이루어짐을 의미한다. 이러한 메타버스 플랫폼에서 학습자는 학습 현존감(presence)을 느낄 수 있고, 학습 동기와 몰입이 촉진될 수 있다. 또한 공간 이동의 자율성을 기반으로 자기주도적인 학습을 경험할 수 있다. 메타버스 플랫폼을 적용하기 위해 기술적, 윤리적 한계점도 있으나 높은 기대 수준을 가지는 것 보다는 메타버스 세계의 학습자들의 교육적 상호작용에 초점을 맞추는 것이 바람직할 것이다.
