Resumen

Las redes sociales están presentes en la cotidianeidad. Esta presencia ha trascendido y ha penetrado en el ámbito educativo. Para analizar el porqué, en esta investigación se ha partido de la Teoría de Usos y Gratificaciones, aplicando la Social Media Perception Scale (Saini y Abraham, 2019) en una muestra total de 160 personas (56 docentes en su formación inicial de siete universidades y 104 docentes en activo de 30 centros). Los resultados mostraron que las puntuaciones más altas se referían al intercambio de recursos y/o materiales, la colaboración y la utilidad de las redes sociales. Por el contrario, las dimensiones que menos puntuaron fueron las referidas a las relaciones sociales, facilitador de condiciones y la influencia social. En cualquier caso, fueron los docentes en formación los que puntuaron más alto en todas las dimensiones. Los resultados obtenidos confirmaron el modelo teórico propuesto según el cual el uso educativo de las redes sociales está explicado por la adopción y el propósito. Finalmente, se concluye que tanto los docentes en activo como los futuros utilizan las redes para intercambiar recursos y prácticas más allá del aula, constituyendo para ellos una forma importante de mejorar la comprensión de nuevos conceptos e ideas
