Abstract

This study investigated the differences between the motivation to learn, educational mindset, and individual creativity, of junior and senior nursing students with respect to learning situations in the metaverse, as well as their conceptions of learning situations in the metaverse. It is found that senior nursing students had a significantly higher motivation to learn, educational mindset, and individual creativity in the metaverse than did junior nursing students, whereas junior nursing students had more diverse conceptions of learning situations in the metaverse than senior nursing students. In addition, most of the drawings by junior nursing students showed the process of gaining knowledge and skills in the metaverse, while the drawings by senior nursing students showed nursing activities in a healthcare setting. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence for future research investigating the metaverse among junior and senior nursing students.
