Through insights gathered from five field experts via semi-structured interviews, this study also aims to clarify how these advancements might influence educational practices. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five experts in the relevant fields using a validated and reliable interview form. In this phenomenological study, data obtained from participants were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The analysis identified the main themes of “Transformation to Web 3.0,” “The Metaverse World,” “Education in the Metaverse Environment,” and “Requirements for Education through the Metaverse,” each with several important sub-themes. The findings suggest that the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 brought about significant changes, and even greater transformations are expected in the transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Web 3.0, also known as the Semantic Web, is expected to create a digital environment where web technologies become more secure, decentralized, and integrated within immersive virtual worlds. Findings also indicate that while current virtual learning environments offer experiences similar to those in the Metaverse, the widespread adoption of Web 3.0 is expected to bring a vastly different and more immersive experience. Additionally, the implementation of Web 3.0 and Metaverse will likely require robust technical knowledge, infrastructure, user training, and high-speed internet connectivity.  \nKeywords: Web 3.0, Metaverse, Education, Virtual Reality, Technology, Phenomenological Research  \nCitation  \nHanbay-Tiryaki, S. & Balaman, F.

According to Lee et al. (2021), the Metaverse—originating from the words “meta”(beyond) and “universe” —is characterized as a“digital big bang,” representing a virtual universe where users engage and interact via avatars. The Metaverse encompasses various sectors integral to daily life, such as finance, business, art, law, fashion, social networking, shopping, gaming, and entertainment, attracting significant interest and progressing rapidly through both individual and collective contributions. Its decentralized structure allows for the development of distinct experiences tailored to each sector’s foundational principles and operational frameworks, further enhancing its unique and adaptive nature (Y","cbCaibuHHd4p7r0C","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibuHHd4p7r0C","pdf",994318,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Web 3.0 (Semantic Web)","[{\"question\":\"What is the study trying to determine about Web 3.0 and the Metaverse?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to explore how Web 3.0 and the Metaverse may influence educational practices and what applications and requirements could emerge for education.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five field experts using a validated interview form, and the obtained data were analyzed with descriptive analysis techniques in a phenomenological study design.\"},{\"question\":\"What major themes were identified in the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis identified main themes including transformation to Web 3.0, the Metaverse world, education in Metaverse environments, and requirements for education through the Metaverse, each with multiple sub-themes.\"}]","Web 3.0 and the Metaverse: Transformative Impacts on Education | PDF",1792032030,53]
