- Tippawan Meepung
Abstract
This study explores the development and evaluation of a digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences aimed at enhancing the competencies of modern digital entrepreneurs. The objectives were as follows: (1) to study the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences, (2) to design and develop a digital learning ecosystem using a metaverse experience, and (3) to study the results of using the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences. The research method was divided into three phases based on these objectives. The first phase involved studying the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences. In the second phase, the digital learning ecosystem for design and development was evaluated for its effectiveness by twelve experts using a suitability assessment form. The third phase examined the outcomes of using the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences, focusing on digital entrepreneurs’ competencies and innovative thinking skills. The study included 30 participants from higher education institutions in Thailand. The findings revealed a significant improvement in learners’ digital competencies post-intervention with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.72), indicating the substantial impact of the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences. Additionally, there was a notable enhancement in innovative thinking skills as evidenced by high mean scores in creativity, problem-solving, value creation, presentation, and implementation. The experts found the digital learning ecosystem through metaverse experiences to be highly appropriate and effective.
