Abstract

The education metaverse will place new demands on teachers. How teachers will reshape their roles in order to proactively meet the educational metaverse has become a key proposition that needs to be addressed when looking into the future of teacher development. Based on social role theory, this article explored the intra-role, inter-role and extra-role conflicts arising from teachers’ orientation towards students, resources and technology respectively, and analyses the scope of teachers’ role reinvention in the education metaverse: from teaching and solving problems to being an emotional and nurturing facilitator, from being a provider of knowledge resources to being a designer of knowledge scenarios, and from being a user of technology to being a collaborator of multiple technologies. The study found that only by adhering to the nurturing role of education and exploring its irreplaceability can teachers continue to be self-liberating while maintaining the dynamics of education.
