| description | Understanding these perceptions is crucial for successful adoption and implementation, particularly in the context of higher education institutions in Jiangsu Province, China, as little is known about university teachers’ perceptions of these technologies and their potential applications in educational settings. This study employed a quantitative research approach, collecting data through a questionnaire sent to 389 university teachers from institutions offering Bachelor’s programs. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26, applying statistical techniques such as independent sample t-tests, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and factor analysis to examine the influence of demographic variables on teachers’ perceptions. The analysis revealed that demographic factors, including teachers’ age, academic qualifications, years of teaching experience, and attitudes toward new educational technologies, significantly influenced their perceptions of the application of Metaverse technologies in higher education. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on technology acceptance in educational contexts and offer practical implications for policymakers and educators aiming to integrate innovative technologies into teaching and learning practices. |
