| Abstract: |
As an emerging country, Morocco has not invested much of its resources in the use of technology for distance learning in the academic context. With the outbreak of Covid 19, the lockdown and closing of all educational institutions, Moroccan faculty and teachers were forced to adopt all available means to face the situation. With only minor or no prior training in using technological platforms for teaching, instructors at different educational levels tried to exploit some of the most commonly used social media platforms and convert them into means of instruction.
Students endured much of the frustration throughout this experience and the goal of the present paper is to investigate high school students’ attitudes towards the use of social media, namely Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google plus in teaching and learning. The main objective is to reveal to what extent these platforms have proven to be with some benefits to students during those critical period. The study adopts a mixed approach making use of both quantitative and qualitative research instruments. A survey was designed for Moroccan high school students enrolled in 27 public Institutions from three regions, who experienced distance learning using social media tools. Due to the restrictions imposed by the lock down, Google forms were made online and participation in the survey was voluntary. The population sample includes 108 students. Semi structured interviews were also used to collect qualitative data. The study addresses and tries to answer three research questions, namely (i) What are the challenges students had to deal with while learning using social media platforms and applications? (ii) What are the students’ attitudes towards using social media tools for online education? (iii) What are the students’ needs to be able to use online courses more effectively in the future?
