The challenge of secondary teachers in the light of the social networks
Abstract
In the educational context, the integration of technology generates ambivalent positions: it is perceived as an opportunity for innovation, but also as a disruptive element that raises concerns. This double vision is evident when teachers face the challenge of social networks and value their usefulness in classrooms. The purpose of this research has been to analyze the teachers’ perceptions about the use of social networks by high school students and to identify the material and training requirements of teachers so that they can incorporate them into their educational work. A qualitative study has been carried out and the technique used has been the group interview. The results show that teachers consider that the use of social networks in teaching can be motivating, but they warn of the risks that they can entail for young people. The conclusions are proposed at three levels: teachers are willing to integrate these resources into the educational field, but this requires a change at the professional level, especially with regard to better training in digital skills; and they also demand an increase in the resources available in educational centers.Keywords
