Abstract EN

This study aimed to identify the teachers' views on the use of social networks in education from their own point of view and to identify the differences between the average responses of the study sample individuals on the effect of implementing social networks in education according to the variables (major, grade).

To achieve these objectives, the descriptive method was used, and a questionnaire was prepared and applied to (140) teachers to identify this effect.

The results showed that there are positive attitudes and agreements towards the importance of social networks and their use in education.

They also revealed obstacles to the use of social networks in education, most importantly: the negative attitudes towards social networks, lack of time, lack of Internet, lack of experience and the lack of efficiency in dealing with social networks.

The study came out with many recommendations which include: Educating teachers and students about the importance of using social networks in education, attaching them to training courses in how to deal with them and their uses in the educational process, and conducting more specialized studies in the use of social networks by teachers and students in the educational process.
