Teachers’ Utilization of Social Media and Fact-checking Practices

Abstract This study examined the relationship between teachers’ utilization of social media and fact-checking practices among 148 respondents in the Schools Division of Antique–District of Hamtic for the year 2025. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to determine how teachers’ use of social media relates to their ability to verify and evaluate information used in educational settings. Data were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation.

The findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a high level of social media utilization as well as a high level of fact-checking practices. The study further showed a significant positive relationship between social media utilization and fact-checking practices, indicating that teachers who frequently engage with social media platforms are also more likely to verify and evaluate information before using it for instructional purposes.

Based on the findings, the study concluded that teachers’ engagement with social media is closely associated with responsible information verification practices. Strengthening digital literacy training and enhancing fact-checking skills among teachers may further improve the quality, credibility, and reliability of instructional practices in today’s digital learning environment.
