An Analytical Study of the Use of Social Networks for Collaborative Learning in Higher Education

Abstract: Abstract-In recent years, the use of social networks has been growing at an unprecedented speed. Changing the way people communicate, interact and learn. Instead of passively consuming information, users are actively participating in the creation of knowledge, as a part of the social connection and interaction Social Networking Sites (SNSs) are built upon. And since learning, at abstract, is a social activity, educators around the world have been embracing the notion of incorporating social networks technology… Show more

“…For instructors, a constructive class that incubates critical thinking, teaching and learning strategies must be woven around educational situations that are: inquiry-based, problem-based, and project-based and that, cooperative learning; and learning by doing which are accomplished through the fruitful integration of virtual social networks (Aljaad, 2016;Alkhathlan & Al-Daraiseh, 2017;Barber & King, 2016) Critical thinking in this sense doesn't present the ultimate goal of the educational endeavor; "it is nice you can think but after all what is really important is what you think" (Beyer, 1988, p. 2). Students who participated in this research identify social networks as opportunities to learn critical thinking skills through selfexploration of the outside world with all its opportunities and challenges.…”
