Abstract
References

More and more the term metaverse is heard in society. It is a traditionally studied concept, but very recently associated with the field of education. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the attitudes and knowledge of different agents of the educational community (students, teachers, and families) toward the inclusion of the metaverse in the classroom. To this end, surveys were conducted on a sample of 291 subjects. The results show that the knowledge of the participants is quite adequate and conforms to the definitions collected by the scientific community. Likewise, attitudes were generally reluctant towards the inclusion of the metaverse in classrooms, at least in the sample of parents and teachers. In fact, while students did show some agreement to receive classes in the metaverse, parents and the sample of teachers were not inclined to participate in metaverse training. Thus, the results provided by teachers and families are expected because it is a novel topic, hardly unprecedented, and can generate some sensitivity. Likewise, the perspective more open to the metaverse of the students could be explained by their greater contact with technology.
