POLITICAL EDUCATION AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Keywords:
Education, Politics, Social MediaAbstract
Political education through social media is a concept that emphasizes the importance of understanding and practicing democratic values, public participation, and comprehension of political processes through digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Through social media, individuals can quickly and broadly access political information, but they are also at risk of exposure to invalid or biased content. Therefore, effective political education in the digital era requires critical skills to analyze information, distinguish facts from opinions, and participate in healthy and informed discussions online. In our research, we employed the interview method, involving 87 students, to explore the relationship between political education and social media. The findings indicate that many students actively use social media as it allows them to stay informed about current political developments.
