ABSTRACT

Since Facebook announced itself as Meta, the metaverse has been popular with educationalists. However, scanty studies have bibliographically analyzed the use of the metaverse in education. This study complements the missing link in the literature by bibliometrically analyzing the research into the use of the metaverse in education using both VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer. The study identified the top authors, organizations, countries, keywords, documents, sources, the research trends, and challenges of the metaverse used in education, together with the effects of the metaverse on learning environments, interactions, educational outcomes, and learning attitudes. This study paves a solid ground and provides a meaningful reference for future research in the use of the metaverse in education. Implications for future research were also provided.
