Comparación entre dos ambientes educativos: con mediación facebook vs tradicional, en la asignatura de inglés.

Abstract

The study focused on the use of social network Facebook and its application in grades ninth, in contrast to the teaching-learning process. A diagnosis was made to determine the general conception that young people have in relation to the role of social networks in their daily work, to later apply activities in the classroom using Facebook for the experimental group and education without intervention of said social network for the control group, likewise, intended to motivate young people using the social networks in the classroom, as a methodological and innovative strategy in learning to improve academic performance and the social relationships that derive from its use. It was concluded that this strategy, if it increases students’ motivation, is easily accepted in academic activities, distancing the possibilities of misusing them and supporting the improvement of academic results, compared to the group that did not apply the experiment.
