دور شبكات التواصل الاجتماعي في إنتاج المعرفة : دراسة تطبيقية على عينة من مستخدمي الفيسبوك

Abstract EN

This study aims to identify the role of social networks in the production of knowledge and explore the types of uses of social communication and specify their mechanisms through the use of social networks.

The researcher conducted an applied study utilizing Habermas’ theory on communication action.

A carefully selected sample of 170 users of Facebook (snowball sample) participated in the study.

They were asked to fill out an online questionnaire.

The study has revealed some findings the most important of which is that knowledge resulting from communicative action is different from the traditional sources of knowledge.

The former, unlike the latter, is characterized by sellectivism, generalization, flexibility, relative partial knowledge, and relative lack of truthfulness of knowledge
