“…Several participants mentioned the idea of technology addiction, and actively tried to avoid it. Some students feel like technology such as social media can be particularly invasive, and feel judged through it, and nearly half of students have felt that they had had negative experiences on social media (Ricciardelli et al, 2020). Negative experiences lead to negative attitudes and therefore students who have had bad social media interactions are less likely to use it or be confident with it.…”

“…Social media has increasingly become a teaching tool in HE, particularly Twitter, Facebook and discussion boards; these are often thought to be a useful platform for communication or dissemination (Stathopoulou et al, 2019;Tess, 2013). However, nearly half of students have felt that they had had negative experiences on social media (Ricciardelli et al, 2020). Negative experiences can lead to negative attitudes, and therefore students' experiences on social media will affect their attitude towards using it.…”

The use of technology in higher education has become unavoidable. Between the "pivot" to online teaching during the covid-19 pandemic and pressure from universities to integrate technology innovatively within courses, educators are increasingly turning to technology. In turn, all students are expected to engage successfully and rapidly with technology, irrespective of their level or background. It is therefore important to understand students' attitudes and confidence towards technology, and how this drives their use, in order to keep students engaged. This study explores the factors that affect students' use, attitudes and confidence with learning technologies. 11 volunteers from a UK university were interviewed about their experiences with technology. A thematic analysis was carried on the interviews, which found that there are a number of key factors underlying the participants' attitude and confidence with technology. Students strongly considered the purpose and convenience of a technology before choosing whether to accept or reject it. Other factors included familiarity with particular technologies, and the use of an emerging universal iconic language, a new finding from this study. In addition, this study contributes five key recommendations surrounding competence, design and ownership which should be considered when educators are contemplating the use of technology in their higher education classrooms, whether online or face-to-face. It is important to think about these implications and how we as educators use these technologies going forward in a post-pandemic and technology-rich world.

Between fall 2018 and spring 2023, the author conducted four survey studies on social work students’ use, attitudes, and knowledge regarding social media: (1) a pilot study in fall 2018 (N = 57), (2) a comparative study in spring 2019 (N = 42), (3) a national survey study in fall 2019 (N = 430), and (4) a national replication survey study in spring 2023 (N = 287). The purpose of this article is to describe general observed trends across these four studies. Findings included persistent and pervasive use of social media, decreased knowledge of the impact of social media in undermining democratic processes, students’ inverted concern for others’ use of social media when compared with concern over their own use, diminished agreement with the importance of protecting personal data and treating data protection as a civil/human right, overall agreement that law enforcement should be able to use social media in the apprehension of people accused of committing a crime, decreased agreement that disinformation is a problem on social media, ambivalence toward social media’s positive impact on society, and increased strong disagreement that students wish to delete their accounts but feel unable to do so. Recommendations are shared.

COVID-19 pandemisi yaşamı her boyutuyla etkilemiştir. Bu çalışmada, fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının COVID-19 sonrası sosyal medyaya yönelik tutumları incelenmiştir. Genel tarama modelindeki araştırmanın katılımcılarını Ankara’daki iki kamu üniversitesindeki 401 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Katılımcılara ait cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi, üniversite, sosyal ağ üyeliği sayısı, internet kullanım amacı ve sosyal medya kullanım süresi bilgilerinin alınmasında araştırmacıların geliştirdiği kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Dört alt boyutu olan Sosyal Medya Tutum Ölçeği (SMTÖ) kullanılan bir diğer araçtır. Yüz yüze toplanan veriler çeşitli betimsel yöntemler, faktör analizi, 10 bağımsız gruplar t-testi, 20 tek-yönlü ANOVA ve 11 Tukey testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Buna göre, sosyal medya tutumlarının alt boyutlara göre değişmekle birlikte, hafif pozitif olduğu görülmüştür. Cinsiyet, sosyal ağ üyeliği sayısı, internet kullanım amacı ve sosyal medya kullanım süresi değişkenleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Bu durumun SMTÖ’nün özellikle “paylaşım ihtiyacı” ve “sosyal yetkinlik” alt boyutlarındaki farklılıklardan kaynaklandığı anlaşılmıştır. Son olarak bulgular kapsamında çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
