Social media dla edukacji dzieci w opinii studentów
Social media for children’s education according to students

Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to find an answer to the following research question: What role do students perceive for social media in the education of children attending school? For this purpose, a literature review and research were conducted on social media use and its role in the early education of children. Students’ statements published in an online discussion group were used to answer the research question, which was then the subject of hermeneutical analysis. The study group consisted of students majoring in preschool and early school education, 43% of whom took the survey and posted their statements in the forum. The students’ opinions confirm the assumption that only the wise and conscious implementation of social media instruments in class scenarios can contribute to the achievement of educational objectives. The students perceive digital instruments playing rather a supportive role in the traditional process of education. Furthermore, they note the important role of the teacher in adapting digital innovations. The high involvement, sensitivity and empathy of teachers can bring satisfactory learning outcomes with the use of social media.
