Abstract

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of employing the augmented reality (metaverse) on improving the process of teaching and academic performance. An electronic questionnaire containing five questions was distributed to the academic groups that received the lesson using augmented virtual reality (Metaverse). The aim of the questions was to evaluate their experience, and after they answered the questions, the answers were analyzed in the form of percentages and frequencies. The study sample consisted of (97) students from Al-Ain University enrolled in the programs of (special education, nutrition, and applied sociology), to whom the experiment was applied using augmented virtual reality in teaching during their academic course. The results revealed that (83%) of the respondents reported that the augmented virtual reality contributed to understanding the concepts of the lesson well, (79%) felt enjoyment in using this technique, (75%) suggested that the technique enhanced their involvement in the content well, (68%) suggested that augmented virtual reality could be a useful educational instrument in the future, and (77%) confirmed that the lesson's objectives were achieved by using metaverse technique in teaching. However, several challenges were faced by students, including the used language (only English) and the negative effects of bad quality of used glasses. Based on the findings, the study recommended addressing several key areas for optimizing the use of augmented virtual reality (AVR) in teaching. For example, diversifying language options for AVR content is crucial to accommodating the linguistic diversity among students, thereby enhancing accessibility and comprehension. Additionally, we should invest in high-quality equipment and implement regular maintenance protocols to enhance the quality of equipment, specifically addressing issues related to the negative effects of subpar AVR hardware.

评估使用增强现实技术（Metaverse）对提高教学和学习成绩的影响

本研究旨在评估使用增强现实技术（Metaverse）对改善教学过程和学习成绩的影响。研究人员向接受过增强虚拟现实（Metaverse）课程的学术小组发放了一份包含五个问题的电子问卷。问题的目的是评估他们的体验，在他们回答问题后，以百分比和频率的形式对答案进行了分析。研究样本由来自艾因大学的（97 名）学生组成，他们就读于（特殊教育、营养学和应用社会学）专业，实验在他们的学术课程中使用了增强虚拟现实技术进行教学。结果显示，（83%）的受访者表示增强型虚拟现实技术有助于很好地理解课程概念，（79%）的受访者在使用该技术时感到愉悦，（75%）的受访者认为该技术很好地提高了他们对教学内容的参与度，（68%）的受访者认为增强型虚拟现实技术在未来可能是一种有用的教育工具，（77%）的受访者确认在教学中使用元数据技术实现了课程目标。然而，学生们也面临着一些挑战，包括所使用的语言（只有英语）和所使用的眼镜质量差带来的负面影响。根据研究结果，研究建议解决几个关键领域的问题，以优化增强虚拟现实技术（AVR）在教学中的应用。例如，为 AVR 内容提供多样化的语言选项对于适应学生的语言多样性至关重要，从而提高可访问性和理解能力。此外，我们应投资于高质量的设备，并实施定期维护协议以提高设备质量，特别是解决与劣质 AVR 硬件的负面影响有关的问题。
