Abstract EN

This study aimed at identifying the positive use of the Facebook by the secondary stage students, as viewed by them, and the relationship of this use to certain variables, namely: gender, grade and residence.

The sample consisted of (200) male and female students, who were chosen by the stratified random method.

The researchers applied the questionnaire to measure the positive use degree, which consisted of (28) items.

The pertinent statistical methods were applied for data analysis.

The results showed that the positive use degree of the Facebook by the secondary stage students, as viewed by them, was medium.

The results also showed statistically significant differences ascribed to the gender variable, in favor of the males.

Meanwhile, there were no differences ascribed to the grade and place of residence variables.

Based on the study results, the researchers presented a number of recommendations.

The most important were: schools should place more attention to educate students and direct them about the positive uses of the Facebook, and alert them about its negative effects.
