AnotationThe project deals with the impact of social networks on the learning process and the acquisition of new knowledge by students. The research focuses on users and groups on social networks that focus on educational content. Within the project, the proponents analyze these accounts from a professional and educational perspective. The proposers will then compare the analysed accounts with traditional sources of information (texts, presentations, videos, etc.). Furthermore, questionnaires for students are designed and developed to determine students' attitudes towards social networks as a source of information. The third part of the project investigates, by means of a questionnaire survey, the way teachers prepare during distance learning and their preparation during traditional teaching and will compare these two ways of preparation, specifically in terms of the use of social networks as a source of information and teaching materials, or as inspiration for class preparation and adaptation to distance learning. Attention will also be paid to the individualisation of the curriculum for students using social networks. The target group of the project is secondary and higher education students.
