Abstract

The study of the solar system is a critical component of science education, offering students a deeper understanding of natural phenomena. However, traditional teaching methods often fall short in effectively engaging students and fostering comprehensive understanding. This study aims to develop an immersive learning tool utilizing metaverse technology, following the ADDIE development model. The resulting product includes two virtual spaces designed for exploration and learning by students. The evaluation process involved both Alpha and Beta Testing. Alpha Testing was conducted with four experts, comprising two specialists in AR, VR, and XR media, and two experts in science content. Beta Testing involved a small group of 15 students to assess the usability of the immersive application. The evaluation by media experts rated the learning tool as "highly feasible" for educational purposes, while assessments from science content experts categorized it as "feasible" for instructional use. Usability testing results further classified the application as "excellent" overall.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of immersive technology on student learning outcomes, emphasising its efficacy in improving comprehension of intricate scientific ideas, particularly the solar system. A quasi-experimental approach was utilised, featuring an experimental group utilising immersive technology tools and a control group receiving conventional video-based teaching. Data were gathered via pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate knowledge acquisition, in addition to observations and questionnaires to measure student involvement and participation. The results revealed significant improvements in both groups, with the control group achieving higher post-test scores, potentially due to the familiarity and structured nature of the traditional methods. However, the experimental group demonstrated the unique benefits of immersive technology, particularly in visualizing abstract concepts and fostering interactive learning experiences. These findings suggest that while immersive technology has substantial potential, its effectiveness depends on the context and implementation. Future research should explore its long-term impact and strategies for optimizing its integration into diverse educational settings
