Abstract
The objective of this article is to develop a literature review on the use of Metaverse and virtual reality focused on education. Taking into account that education lives a continuous process of change in search of quality, the use of new tools favors this process, therefore, the use of virtual platforms focused on virtual reality and Metaverse are in essence tools that energize the teaching and learning processes, contribute to organize and update the contents, and allow the student and learner to interact within the virtual environment. In this context, the present work was developed based on an exploratory, descriptive methodology; using the categories Metaverse, virtual reality and teaching, a search was carried out in the Science, Scopus and web Science databases, obtaining one hundred reference articles, from which the above categories are analyzed.
