Abstract

Physics education in college is often faced with the great challenge of conveying abstract concepts such as quantum mechanics and relativity. In response to these challenges, this research developed a Metaverse Learning Space (MLS) that aims to improve the visualization and understanding of these abstract concepts. This research uses the ADDIE development method, which includes five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research subjects consisted of 50 students from the Computer Systems Engineering (RSK) study program at Bina Insan University. Through the use of MLS, pre-test and post-test results show a significant improvement in understanding of physics concepts. The results of the statistical test with the paired sample t-test show that MLS has a positive impact on student understanding. This research contributes to the development of technology-based learning methods to support a deeper conceptual understanding of the field of physics.
