This chapter addresses the topic of Facebook use in education, with focus on the learning issues concerning the student-faculty relations and communication on this social network. Its main purpose is to reveal academics' general and particular attitudes towards the use of Facebook with instructional aim. Therefore, it presents a generous theoretical perspective on the emerging phenomenon of Social Networks integration on education, in the United States mainly. Further on, it puts side by side these views with the findings of a particular, empirical study conducted by the authors. A survey applied to a sample of Facebook users from "Alexadru Ioan Cuza" University of Iaşi, Romania (N=160) revealed that the academics partially agreed that the use of Facebook is suitable for educational exchanges. Whilst the literature suggested that students have more positive attitudes than faculty towards the use of Facebook in education, this present study does not support this view. |
