The investigation of contributions from Latin American researchers is highly relevant in the context of the Metaverse for education and immersive learning. In this way, the objective of this study is to characterize the state of the art of Metaverse for Education based on Latin American research. Based on our findings, papers are predominantly focused on empirical and development studies, suggesting an under-representation of theoretical and conceptual approaches which are crucial for deeper understanding. Additionally, there’s a significant opportunity to expand the research to other Latin American countries, besides Brazil, which would encourage a broader diversity of approaches and perspectives.
