Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop the training process for 3D Spatial Visualization Skills; 2) to develop Spatial Visualization Skills training activities on Metaverse technology; and 3) to study the results of training on 3D Spatial Visualization Skills on Metaverse technology. The sample group used in the study consisted of 15 participants in virtual digital media creation training obtained by purposive sampling. The results of the research were as follows: 1) The 3D Spatial Visualization Skills training process was sequenced according to the learner's learning level with a focus on helping and guiding learners fully at the beginning, followed by reducing the level of assistance when learners became proficient before allowing students to learn by themselves; 2) Virtual Training on Metaverse Technology activities provided learners with a clear, real, 360-degree view of key points, highlighted by the use of dotted lines, shadows, and colors to help them understand what they had learned more clearly; and 3) The results of the Skills Training found that the Spatial Visualization Skills after learning was significantly higher than before at the .05 level. The learners' ability to create three-dimensional objects through the assessment criteria was at a good level (M = 4.13, SD = 0.60), and the learning behaviors of the learners through the assessment criteria were at the highest level (M = 4.31, SD = 0.61)
