APPLICATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE FUNCTION OF MODERN YOUTH EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Social media today is an indispensable factor in the development of children and the formation of their attitudes, but looking at education, it is still an underused tool, although it offers enormous opportunities in the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Children mostly use the media as a source of entertainment, and the least for educational purposes. Since new generations of students grow up in a completely new information and communication environment, social media is an integral part of their everyday life and they spend most of their time right next to them. Media pedagogy and didactics mostly deal with this issue. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance and application of social media in the education of young people, as well as the role they can play in the implementation of the teaching process. By using social media in education, we are actually creating a new culture of learning that the knowledge society strives for. With a modern approach and the use of social networks, we create a "social mirror" which is an inexhaustible source of information and knowledge, but also an indicator of the level and efficiency of the education system of each country.
