موارد على الانترنت:ملاحظة الأطروحة:Doctor of philosophy : Washington State University : 2014 ملخص:This dissertation consists of two manuscripts to investigate the use of social media in Libya since the uprising in 2011. The first paper is an exploratory study that explores perceptions of Libyans on the role of social media in the 2011 Libyan uprising. The study investigates data from two sources: (a) a questionnaire addressed to 10 Libyan participants, and (b) a document analysis of the main social media pages mentioned in the questionnaire responses of the participants, to provide supplementary insights in support of the findings. The document analysis involved coding some of the posts and the comments on this page. The results from this small sample suggest that participants perceive that social media in general were essential in spreading the news of the uprising, enhancing their political awareness, literacy and spreading the news for the Libyans who were outside the country and desperate for information about the country's events. Furthermore, participants perceived that social media facilitated the start of the uprising in Libya and the connection between the activists and the people who follow them on social media. The second paper also utilizes qualitative research methods to explore Libyan English language (EL) teachers' perspectives on the use of social media tools for learning and professional development. The study reports the results of data collected from 50 Libyan teachers of English language (EL) who participated in a questionnaire, interview, and document analysis. The results of the study show that Libyan ESL teachers are interested in the use of social media for personal and professional educational education. Social media might also provide Libyan ESL teachers with learning collaboration and interaction with each other and within the online communities of practice. The teachers have positive perspectives of becoming members of online communities to obtain continuous sustained resources for their professional development.
