Abstract

This research aimed to develop students’ learning achievement, compare learning achievement before and after instruction, and examine students’ satisfaction with learning management in the subject Civic Duties, Culture, and Social Living on the topic of Human Society through Game-Based Learning integrated with an online Metaverse classroom.

The target group consisted of 40 Grade 10 students from Srikranuan Wittayakom School, selected by purposive sampling. The study employed a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. Research instruments included eight lesson plans based on Game-Based Learning integrated with an online Metaverse classroom, a learning achievement test comprising 30 four-option multiple-choice items, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

The results indicated that the mean posttest learning achievement score was significantly higher than the pretest score at the .05 level. The mean pretest score was 14.80, while the mean posttest score was 24.85, demonstrating that Game-Based Learning integrated with an online Metaverse classroom effectively enhanced students’ learning achievement. Furthermore, overall student satisfaction with the learning management was at the highest level. Among the three aspects, learning activity management received the highest mean score, followed by learning atmosphere and perceived benefits, respectively.
