The use of social media platforms by the education sector has grown significantly in the past decade. The advancement in information and technology has prompted the integration of social media use in education. Social media use has revolutionized the learning processes from what was traditionally teacher-centered to the current student-centered approach. People between 16 and 24 years of age are considered among the active users of social media; hence, by incorporating an important part of their lives in school activities, learning may become more amusing and improve performance. Despite the United Arab Emirates being considered the technological hub of the Middle East, it has made minimal steps toward integrating social media in the learning system for high school students. This article explores the type of social media used by students and teachers in the Emirati high school system and examines the favorable social media tools used in learning in high schools by teachers and students and responds to questions like the purposes of using social media in learning and does social media use in learning affect student and teacher satisfaction and attitude? Further, it asks what the impacts of using social media on learning are. Finally, it discusses the challenges students and teachers come across when using social media for learning.

在高中生教学中使用社交媒体:以阿拉伯联合酋长国为例

在过去十年中,教育部门对社交媒体平台的使用显着增加。信息和技术的进步促进了社交媒体在教育中的使用。社交媒体的使用彻底改变了学习过程,从传统上以教师为中心的方式转变为当前以学生为中心的方式。16 至 24 岁的人被视为社交媒体的活跃用户;因此,通过将他们生活的重要组成部分纳入学校活动,学习可能会变得更有趣并提高成绩。尽管阿拉伯联合酋长国被认为是中东的技术中心,但它在将社交媒体融入高中生学习系统方面迈出了最小的一步。本文探讨了阿联酋高中系统中学生和教师使用的社交媒体类型,并检查了教师和学生在高中学习中使用的有利社交媒体工具,并回答了使用社交媒体进行学习和使用的目的等问题。在学习中使用社交媒体是否会影响学生和教师的满意度和态度?此外,它询问使用社交媒体对学习的影响是什么。最后,它讨论了学生和教师在使用社交媒体进行学习时遇到的挑战。
