A Flexible Approach Towards Effective Teaching: Use of Social Media by Teachers

Integrating emotional attachment, resource sharing, communication and collaboration into UTAUT2 to examine students' behavioural intention to adopt social media networks in education

“…Indeed, and according to what is proposed in the conceptual model and what is found in the results, Omani students are more likely to be motivated to adopt Facebook for educational services as long as they formulate a favourable habitual behaviour toward such platforms. These results have been largely supported by several IS studies (i.e., Banerjee and Dey, 2013;Al-Ammary et al, 2014;Kaur et al, 2015;Mouakket, 2015;Hsiao et al;.…”

“…Habit has been included in certain continuance intention models to explain IT-use behaviour because consumers use those IT devices frequently and the behaviour becomes automatic (Arenas-Gaitán, 2015;Hsiao et al;Jawarneh, 2017). Habit was also included in the IS research that examine the adoption of social media networks (Banerjee and Dey, 2013;Al-Ammary et al, 2014;Kaur et al, 2015;Mouakket, 2015;Hsiao et al;Chuang et al, 2017).

Evaluation of Flexible Strategies to Manage the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Education Sector

“…The new framework needs to be designed to maintain resilience, bearing in mind that education cannot continue through face-to-face interaction due to social distance restrictions. Moreover, stakeholders should give concentration on the convenient understanding and cooperative participation of students with teachers, as education will be conducted online (Kaur et al 2015).
