A Study on the Learning Experience of Makeup Classes using the Metaverse Platform

Purpose: This study examines the learning experience of make-up classes by evaluating the curriculum design of make-up courses using the Metaverse platform and the satisfaction levels of freshmen students of Generation Z. The findings of this study will inform the potential use of make-up classes using the Metaverse and contribute to the development of educational programmers. Method: In order to verify the satisfaction of make-up education among college freshmen, basic make-up was selected, and a questionnaire on the satisfaction of the class was conducted on 60 college students in the first year of beauty major, and the comparison was analyzed using a paired sample (pre-post) t-test. Results: After reviewing the case study method selected according to the research topic, this study selected ifland among the metaverse platforms for first-year students who participated in the basic make-up course and applied it to the class. The educational factors, psychological factors, and environmental factors of class satisfaction were found to be significantly different with higher mean values for ifland educational factors compared to traditional make-up education. These results suggest that students can develop self-directed learning skills, problem-solving skills, and digital literacy in the new environment, and instructors need not only teaching and learning methods and subject matter expertise that are different from the traditional classroom environment, but also metaverse literacy as a basic competence to understand and freely utilise the metaverse. Conclusion: This study was designed and conducted by the researcher for freshmen beauty majors, so it is difficult to generalise the findings to the education as a whole. In addition, there are limitations that may result in different results depending on the instructor's teaching method, but the positive results of this study on basic make-up education in the metaverse suggest that follow-up studies on education using various metaverse platforms should be conducted.
