Résumé

This study is important because it addresses the global shift toward digital education and emphasizes the need to examine the role of social networks in education. By shedding light on this issue, this study aims to address the challenges facing the Moroccan educational system and provide recommendations for improving educational standards and pedagogical approaches considering the country’s technological advancements. The research also seeks to answer two key questions: How do Moroccan undergraduate and graduate students view the integration of social media into education? What insights do Moroccan students offer to guide the development of innovative teaching and learning methods using social media platforms?
