Social Media, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Age, Teachers’ PerceptionAbstract
The dynamics of teaching and learning have changed due to the rise of modern technologies, mainly social media and artificial intelligence (AI). This study determined the elementary teachers' response to the emerging use of social media and AI in educational methods and how these may impact the students' learning. Data was collected using a survey questionnaire composed of social media and AI use and views on the role of educators in the digital age. Statistical methods, including mean and standard deviation, were used in data analysis. The respondents demonstrated their proficiency in using social media and AI, representing a range of instructional roles and experience levels. Results indicate that Facebook and YouTube are frequently used online for assistive instructional information. Moreover, various AI techniques were used, such as automated grading systems, tailored learning platforms, and language translation services. Teachers incorporated these technologies and emphasized the need for further professional development; this shed light on the strategic integration of social media and AI in education holds tremendous potential to revolutionize learning paradigms, foster collaboration, and cultivate personalized learning experiences. However, it requires careful navigation of ethical, privacy, and accessibility considerations to harness its full benefits and ensure inclusivity and integrity within educational ecosystems.
