Facebook as a Learning Tool-Students ’ Perspective
Popularity and adoption of social networks among young people, especially Millennials have been in full swing during the last decade. Many researches have shown that social networks, Facebook especially, can be successfully used for educational purpose, not just for leisure. The authors are interested in exploring the situation related to the use of Facebook in higher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Research is aimed to explore what students think about and whether they will accept and use Facebook in their education. The paper presents the results of research conducted among students of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results confirm that students do not have a negative attitude and aversion to the use of Facebook in education, although the educational usage of Facebook is not everyday practice at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Mostar. The findings show that Facebook is already in use for the exchange of materials and information and that the students are ready for active implementation of Facebook for educational purposes, especially in communication with teaching staff, which would benefit for both sides.
