Keywords:
Brain-based learning, Metaverse technology, Teaching of the history, ThailandAbstract
This research explores the integration of Brain-Based Learning (BBL) and Metaverse technology in history education, focusing on the development of the Sukhothai Kingdom. Conducted with Grade 7 students at Khok Si Pittayasan School in Khon Kaen Province, the study aimed to assess the effectiveness of this combined learning approach in enhancing students' understanding of historical content. The research methodology employed a pre-test and post-test design, along with surveys to evaluate student engagement and satisfaction. The results revealed that students' academic performance improved significantly, with post-test scores increasing from 7.22 to 16.88 on average. Students reported a higher level of interest and understanding when using the Metaverse platform, which allowed them to engage with historical content in an interactive and immersive manner. The study concluded that the integration of BBL and Metaverse not only enhanced students' learning outcomes but also increased motivation and satisfaction with history education. This approach is recommended for fostering deeper engagement with complex historical topics.
