The metaverse, a 3D digital space mixed with the real world and the virtual world, has been heralded as a trend of future education with great potential. However, as an emerging item, rarely did the existing study discuss the metaverse from the perspective of education. In this paper, we first introduce the visions of the metaverse, including its origin, definitions, and shared features. Then, the metaverse in education is clearly defined, and a detailed framework of the metaverse in education is proposed, along with in-depth discussions of its features. In addition, four potential applications of the metaverse in education are described with reasons and cases: blended learning, language learning, competence-based education, and inclusive education. Moreover, challenges of the metaverse for educational purposes are also presented. Finally, a range of research topics related to the metaverse in education is proposed for future studies. We hope that, <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic> this research paper, researchers with both computer science and educational technology backgrounds could have a clear vision of the metaverse in education and provide a stepping stone for future studies. We also expect more researchers interested in this topic can commence their studies inspired by this paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.1016300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]],"date-time":"2022-10-11T16:24:04Z","timestamp":1665505444000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":394,"title":["The metaverse in education: Definition, framework, features, potential applications, challenges, and future research topics"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xinli","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuchen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lailin","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youmei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"638470","DOI":"10.3389\/feduc.2021.638470","article-title":"Faculty\u2019s and students\u2019 perceptions of online learning during COVID-19","volume":"6","author":"Almahasees","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front.
