Abstract
This study accesses the perception of pre-service teachers on the integration of social media for learning in universities in kwara state, Nigeria. The objectives were to determine: (i) the perceived usefulness of social media for learning; (ii) the perceived ease of use of social media for learning; (iii) the intention to integrate social media for learning; (iv) the influence of gender on perceived usefulness; and (v) the influence of gender on perceived ease of use of social media. the study employed a descriptive survey design, addressing research questions and testing two hypotheses. Data were collected from 364 respondents across three selected universities using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics including mean score frequency counts, and percentage distributions, were used to answer the research questions, while hypotheses were tested using an independent t-test at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that pre-service teachers had a positive perception of both the usefulness and ease of use of social media for learning and demonstrated a positive intention to integrate it into instruction. Additionally, there was no significant gender difference in perceived usefulness and ease of use. The study recommended that the government provide the necessary support for procuring social media facilities to enhance learning.
