“…The study’s findings can be applied to online education by incorporating social media as part of the instructional design to promote student–instructor interaction. Social media with characteristics related to comfort, entertainment, and interaction can consider educators to use in educational practice and performance assessment (Kesici, 2018). This research’s findings have significant implications on using social media to follow political information due to its function on news websites through network recommendations and sharing practices.…”

The use of social media as a learning process is inevitable, as students need to be politically inclined. This study wants to contribute to the lack of research on the topic of political material. Complement the literature by evaluating the effects of social media use on political knowledge. The research used a cross-sectional survey method involving 508 undergraduate students of a distance learning program, Open University, Indonesia. They were 218 males (42.9%) and 290 females (57.1%). The study results showed that the use of social media influences political knowledge by mediating online discussions over different social media platforms. The more students use social media and discuss political issues, the higher their level of knowledge. The study implies that instructors can use social media to integrate the instructional design of relevant courses that facilitate political discussion to learn for the acquisition of students’ political knowledge.

“…This also underlines the importance of embedding language learning in stimulative and communicative environments which gives users a chance to gain interaction and language socialization outside the formal learning environments.

To be more specific, it can be said that social media research is still young and more research is needed to get more insight into students' interaction in social media environments (Wirtz & Gottel, 2016).…”

It is true that social media has a significant presence in today's world and has become an integral part of our lives. Researchers have been trying to find ways to integrate social media to language classes to take advantage of the possibilities social media can offer such as fostering students' engagement with the language, increasing their motivation and making them socially and collaboratively connected. The underlying idea behind this is to take advantage of the possibilities social media can offer to achieve a better learning environment resulting with more effective learning outcomes. Thus, this study seeks to understand and reveal the effects of integrating social media on students' social presence and their attitudes to it when social media is integrated in foreign language classes. Facebook was used as part of high school students' curriculum in English lessons. Explanatory mixed design was used. Data were analysed by using paired samples t-test and content analysis. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in students' attitude to social media but there was a significant difference in their social presence.

“…Studies devoted to the analysis of digital space and social networking are often based on the research of social networking sites, blog statistics, educational platforms and websites (Kesici, 2019;Kross et al, 2013;O'Hara, 2020;Rakic et al, 2020;Shi & Yu;. These approaches to the study of the discussed issue are justified when we want to get a statistical visualization of the use of digital space.…”
