PERCEPTION OF GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

Аннотация

This study aims to explore the perceptions of graduate and undergraduate students on the effective utilization of social networking sites (SNS) for educational purposes. A survey was conducted among students at a university in order to investigate their attitudes and behaviors towards SNS, their perceived benefits and limitations of using SNS for educational purposes, and the factors that influence their use of SNS. The results of the study indicate that while the majority of students use SNS for educational purposes, they also perceive certain limitations associated with their use. Students who reported higher levels of perceived benefits of using SNS for educational purposes were more likely to use these platforms for academic work. The study concludes that the effective utilization of SNS in education requires a balance between the perceived benefits and limitations of these platforms.
