With the leap of modern technology, metaverse-based learning is booming. It breaks through the limitations of space and time and promotes the sharing of high-quality educational resources. Among them, user attitudes of using metaverse-based learning technology in higher education is one of the most important contents. Because students of every major are involved in improving their professional ability, and not everyone can experience a professional environment, metaverse-based learning plays an important role in higher education and professional training. Improving teaching and learning quality of higher education institutions in the form of metaverse-based learning is one of the crucial factors to ensure its sustainable development. However, the studies on metaverse-based learning are insufficient though it has great significance in the higher education area. By using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method, this study takes past articles as the research objects, and one main database named Scopus with one supporting database named Web of Science (WoS) was used. A total of 12 articles were selected and 3 themes emerged from it, namely learning acceptance construction, learning environment construction, and learning assessment construction. Last, some points were implemented in the study which can be the keystone of future research.
