Abstract

This article investigates how avatars in the metaverse can be used for peer evaluation in a sustainable educational setting. The goal is to find the best alternative modes of assessment (one-to-many/many-to-one) to evaluate the design of a sustainable educational environment. The research also explores how learners’ avatars influence the development of tolerance and respect for others within the metaverse. The study involved 36 female graduates from King Faisal University’s College of Education. A quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups was employed to assess performance. Through a product quality card and applying a tolerance (IPTS) scale for data collection. The preliminary findings indicate that the avatars within the (one-to-many) group demonstrated better performance and showed an increase in tolerance values after the intervention, compared to their counterparts (many-to-one) as an alternative mode of assessment, in the development of a sustainable Edu-Metaverse environment. The research validated that avatars enhance positive attitudes and behaviors, thereby providing insights for developing more effective educational interventions and contributing to enhancing the user experience and implementation of sustainable educational initiatives through a metaverse.
