Abstract: The simulation-based self-directed learning model via metaverse has been developed with an intention to enhance analytical thinking and health counseling. Thereby, the design of the said learning model is based mainly on the principles of simulation-based learning that comprises 3 steps, i.e., pre-brief, scenario phase, and debriefing phase, integrated with the principles of self-directed learning, which consists of 4 steps, i.e., assess readiness to learn, set learning goals, engage in the learning process, and evaluate learning. The combination of the aforementioned two learning processes with the aid of metaverse technology facilitates the fabrication of the new immersive learner-centered experiences that encourage learners to have more active participation. It is believed that the simulation-based self-directed learning model via metaverse developed in this study shall not only result in the improvement of analytical thinking skills as evidenced by the reflection of learning assessment, but also develop health counseling skills acquired from the contexts of virtual practices. According to the results of this research, it is found that the suitability of the simulation-based self-directed learning model via metaverse is at very high level; and this can be summarized that the learning model of this kind can be applied as a guideline for further developing other simulation-based self-directed learning models in order to enhance analytical thinking skills and health counseling in the contexts of digital education.
