Metaverse-enabled ideological and political education is an emerging yet exploratory area in educational research, hindered by the lack of fully integrated, connected learning spaces. This study constructs a metaverse-based teaching framework with four core elements: demand orientation, spatial reconstruction, diversified interaction, evaluation and feedback. Using the Open University’s “Emergency Management” course as a case study, specifically the “Community Emergency Evacuation Simulation”, the research addresses adult learners’ needs to design, implement, and evaluate a full teaching process in the metaverse context. The study explores how the metaverse reshapes learning spaces and facilitates diversified interactions, providing evidence of its effectiveness in ideological and political education. The findings offer theoretical and practical insights for designing metaverse-enabled teaching environments and innovating hybrid online-offline teaching models.
