OPINIONS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ON METAVERSE AND WEB 3.0 CONCEPT
Öz
In recent years, the pace of change, particularly in technology, has been astonishingly rapid. The social structure created by technological changes is also impacting the field of education, and the roles of schools, teachers, and school administrators are becoming a subject of renewed scrutiny. How to adapt each new technology to education is a crucial issue for educators to examine. As developing technology integrates concepts like the Metaverse and WEB 3.0 into our lives, every educator must understand how to use these technologies in education. Therefore, it is crucial for school administrators to have sufficient knowledge of these concepts. The aim of this study is to examine the views of school administrators on the concepts of metaverse and WEB 3.0. The study was conducted with the participation of 47 school administrators working in Isparta province. Data were obtained through a semi-structured online form as an interview form. Content analysis technique was used in the data analysis process. According to the research findings, it was determined that the vast majority of school administrators had heard of the concept of the metaverse before, but had not heard of the concepts of VR, MR and AR related to the metaverse world (beyond the universe). More than half of the school administrators participating in the study stated that they had heard of the concepts of avatar and metahuman before. It was determined that more than half of the participating school administrators did not have information about the concept of NFT and innovative business. As a result of the research, it was determined that more than half of the participant school administrators had knowledge about the concept of WEB 3.0. In addition, when the participant school administrators were asked about their thoughts on the metaverse, it was seen that their thoughts were more positive and they were able to define this concept.
