Abstract
History provides insights into how societies, cultures, and civilizations have evolved. Learning history enables us to understand the events, decisions, and actions shaping our world today. However, many studies find that students fail to learn history because it is boring and irrelevant to their lives, leading to disengagement. Traditional methods of teaching history (e.g., lectures and textbook readings) may not capture students’ interest, especially if they do not see how history connects to their personal experiences or the modern world. This study presents the Integrated History Learning through Inquiry Digital Storytelling (IHL-IDS) for Historical Exploration in Virtual Museum. We designed the architecture and developed an IHL-IDS in the virtual museums with Metaverse technology. This study was implemented with 30 students in Thailand using a one-group pre-posttest design. The research results show that the assessment of the suitability by three experts of the IHL-IDS had the highest overall suitability. In addition, it can promote students’ learning achievement and positive attitude.
