Özet:

 The global impact of digital transformation is leading to significant changes across various fields. This impact has been further accelerated by the influence of the Metaverse in 2021. The Metaverse is altering how users perceive, experience, and evaluate the world, including its potential to significantly impact universities and appear to have the potential for complete differentiation in the future. Beyond eliminating time and space constraints, the Metaverse offers unlimited possibilities for structuring education content and environments with meta-assets, which are highly valuable for university education quality. This study aims to measure university students perceptions regarding the meta education ecosystem that universities need to structure in their journey towards becoming Metaversities. University students were divided into two groups for this purpose, focus group discussions were conducted with a total of 16 participants and content analysis was conducted. Additionally, based on the information gathered through literature review, the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed meta-education ecosystem model were examined, aiming to explore its inputs and outputs considering research findings. The study identified differences in perceptions between students who are knowledgeable about the metaverse and those who are not. Furthermore, the model was enhanced with elements such as metaverse transition orientation, interaction with digital identity and socialization guidance, operational internship simulation, global meta interaction, and elements of meta introduction from past to future. Essentially, the Metaversity learning environment, enriched with elements like meta-assets, immersive technologies, types of reality, network quality, and virtual experience design, can be structured to deliver high-quality meta education through digital experiences such as virtual classrooms and virtual libraries.

 Dijital dönüşümün küresel etkisi birçok alanda büyük değişimler yaratmaktadır. 2021 yılında bu etkinin yepyeni bir deneyime dönüştüğü Metaverse ise değişimin hızını daha da arttırmaktadır. Metaverse kullanıcıların dünyayı algılama, yaşama ve değerlendirme biçimini değiştirmektedir. Bu değişim üniversiteleri de etkilemekte ve gelecekte tamamen farklılaştırma potansiyeline sahip görünmektedir. Metaverse zaman ve mekân sınırlarını ortadan kaldırmanın çok ötesinde üniversite eğitim kalitesi için çok değerli olan eğitim içeriği ve eğitim ortamının meta varlıklarla yapılandırılmasında sınırsız olanaklar sunmaktadır. Çalışma, üniversitelerin Metaversity olma sürecinde yapılandırmaları gereken meta eğitim ekosistemi için üniversite öğrencilerinin algılarını ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Buna yönelik olarak üniversite öğrencilerini iki gruba ayırarak toplamda 16 katılımcıyla odak grup görüşmeleri yapılarak içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda alanyazın taraması sonucu elde edilen bilgilerden hareketle ortaya konan meta eğitim ekosistem modelinin avantaj ve dezavantajları incelenerek girdi ve çıktılarının araştırma bulgularıyla keşfedilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda metaverse hakkında bilgisi olan ve olmayan öğrencilerin algıları arasında farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda modele metaverse geçiş oryantasyonu, dijital kimlikle etkileşim ve sosyalleşme rehberliği, operasyonel staj simülasyonu, küresel meta etkileşim ve geçmişten geleceğe meta tanıtım unsurları eklenmiştir. Temel olarak meta varlıklar, sürükleyici teknolojiler, gerçeklik türleri, ağ kalitesi ve sanal deneyim tasarımı gibi öğelerle zenginleştirilecek Metaversity öğrenme ortamı, sanal sınıflar ve sanal kütüphane gibi dijital deneyimlerle yüksek kalitede meta eğitim sunabilecek biçimde yapılandırılabilecektir.
