    Metaverse Applications in High School Physics in the UAE
    (The British University in Dubai (BUiD), 2024-03) MUSTAFA, MANAL AHMED YOUSEF; Dr Tendai Charles
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of physics instruction in UAE high schools through the adoption of metaverse software, such as virtual laboratories and e-textbooks. The research investigated several topics, such as how instructors thought about preplanning concerning the acceptance of e-textbooks, how e-textbook insertion affected student success, how instructors might integrate virtual laboratories into plans for lessons, and how virtual laboratories could improve the skills of inquiry-based learning in high school physics curricula. multiple-choice questions (MCQ) and open-ended questions (OEQ) questionnaires were deployed in the mixed-methods research to collect data that is both quantitative and qualitative. The results emphasized the value of well-thought-out lesson planning, the necessity for professional development for academics to optimize the advantages of e-textbooks and virtual laboratories, and the instructor's selection of suitable approaches in line with learning objectives. To boost academic accomplishment, the study highlighted the importance of educators' roles in improving instructional procedures, getting input from teachers and students, and regularly utilizing digital resources. Through thoughtful lesson planning, formative evaluation, and individualized actions, the incorporation of e-textbooks and virtual laboratories into high school physics classes in the United Arab Emirates has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes. Important elements were identified as crucial elements for the successful implementation like stakeholder input, professional growth, and ongoing improvement of digital resources.
