Abstract

The integration of the metaverse into education stands out as one of the most innovative solutions to make learning an immersive and engaging experience. This study aims to evaluate its effectiveness in the context of high schools through a practical case conducted at the Vittorio Emanuele II Classical High School in Palermo. During the project, 37 students participated in the creation of virtual museums dedicated to Euclid and Galileo using the Spatial.io platform. The results show that the metaverse facilitates the understanding of complex concepts, promotes peer collaboration, and increases motivation for learning. However, some challenges remain, particularly regarding the need for specialized teacher training and access to adequate technological resources.
