Information and communication technologies exert considerable pressure on the educational environment. Students’ digital skills are less widely used in the educational process for creative purpose. Although access to electronic devices is high, the digital skills of Romanian ‘students are underdeveloped. The principal aim of this research is to investigate the dimensions of social media use in educational context. To reach this purpose we investigate the level of the digital literacy competences at both Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs enrolled students and those enrolled in the postgraduate courses. Second, we compare the level of use of social media in networking between Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs enrolled students and students enrolled in postgraduate courses. The third aim of this study was to investigate the student perception regarding the frequency of use of social media by teachers in the teaching – learning process. The research method is based on a questionnaire survey. In research participated 107 students of which 57 students were enrolled in the Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs and 50 students were enrolled in the postgraduate courses. The results show that the use of ITC is in the process of transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Students exchange information, use social media platforms at different levels and contribute slightly with original product in virtual environment. The investigated groups do not hold the whole range of skills necessary to fully utilize social media in the educational context. Students exchange information, use social media platforms at different levels, but they do not creatively contribute to the common knowledge in the digital environment through their own original products or by improving the quality of existing online or digital products. | Keywords
