The Effectiveness of Using Social Communication Networks in Teaching Geography to Develop Academic Achievement and Self-Efficacy Of College of Education Students
The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and self-efficacy of college of education students. For achieving that, the researcher prepared a teaching guide, a test in academic achievement and a scale of self-efficacy in teaching. The study sample was (86) students, divided into two groups; the experimental group was (42) students and the control group was (44) students. The pre – test was conducted on the two groups; experimental and control. The experimental group studied the course by using social networks (Facebook) where the control group studied the course by using the traditional method. Then, The post – test was conducted on both groups. The study results showed significant statistical differences between scores mean of the experimental group students and that of the control group students on the post test of the academic achievement test and the scale of self-efficacy in teaching in favor of the experimental group students. That ensures the effectiveness of using social communication networks in teaching geography to develop academic achievement and self-efficacy of college of education students.
Keywords: Social communication networks, Facebook, geography teaching, academic achievement, self-efficacy in teaching.
