“…Facebook users can also create multiple group pages and control the group's privacy setting, either private, for invited users only, or public, for anyone who enters a similar interest. Numerous studies found that Facebook users showed a positive attitude towards Facebook as a social tool, information sharing medium and entertainment platform (Aung & Myint, 2019;Ellison et al, 2007;Kim & Harwood, 2020;Mazman & Usluel, 2010). In terms of the use of Facebook in education, researchers found that Facebook can be considered to be one of the best platforms to foster collaborative learning among students (Donlan, 2014;Tsitsekidou & Siakas, 2017;Voivonta & Avraamidou, 2018).…”

Education fields have rapidly transformed since the year 2020 from the traditional method to adapting more Web-based tools. Facebook has been regarded as one of the most popular social platforms teachers and learners use in education. It is perceived by teachers and learners as a tool that improves the teaching and learning processes significantly through its several features. This study aims to explore the Malaysian teachers’ views on Facebook in their teaching. Eighty teachers from different levels of Malaysia’s institutions participated in this study. This study adopted the quantitative method to gather teachers’ views on the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook and their reflections on Facebook usage in teaching and learning. Findings showed that teachers had a positive perception of the use of Facebook. This study also found no significant difference between male and female teachers in their perception of Facebook use. This study suggests that teachers optimise this tool in their teaching based on the advantages of using Facebook.

“…When a Facebook friendship leads to a desire for an in-person meeting, this is a generalization from online intergroup contact to face-to-face contact ("I liked you online, maybe I'll like you in person"). To generalize from "you online" to "you in person," I need to develop a broader cognitive representation of you as perhaps a "nice person" or "good friend" as opposed to simply a good online friend (Kim & Harwood, 2020).…”

“…A positive image of an outgroup member from an online interaction might improve attitudes, but meeting the (slightly disappointing) real person might reverse those effects. More broadly, in situations involving culturally-specific communication practices and norms (e.g., second languages, accents, idioms), online interaction offers considerable advantages in avoiding misunderstanding, communicative dysfluency, and conflict (Kim & Harwood, 2020). Instead of treating face-to-face contact as the ultimate goal or ideal, we might instead understand more indirect forms of contact as valuable and worthy in their own right.…”

The modes of intergroup contact, both direct and indirect, have become a focal point for the contact literature over the past decade or more. As part of our developing understanding of when and why certain types of contact improve intergroup relations, this paper examines some theoretical concepts useful for organizing modes of contact, building on previous schemes in the literature. It explores the idea that experiences in one type of contact generalize to other modes of contact. It then considers the degree to which individuals have choice about which mode of contact to use, and indeed whether they have choice about having contact at all, as well as whether such choices are associated with the valence of the contact. These ideas are developed into a model of flexibility in if and how to engage in contact, including the positive and negative consequences thereof. The model contributes to the literature's ability to consider both whether contact occurs and how it happens in a single framework. The paper considers whether societal inequality is reflected in the kinds of contact choices available to those with privilege and those without.
