Abstract

This research was carried out according to the semi-structured interview form developed by the school principals and researchers working in the Nicosia and Kyrenia districts in 2018/19 academic year. Within the scope of the research, the dimension of social change and the effect of technology on this process have been discussed. The relationship between the social change and the technology was argued in the context of education and then the situations which were realized by the interaction of three concepts were expressed. Moreover, it has been emphasized that positive developments can be experienced by benefiting from the potential of social networks in social change, technology and education triangle, and that the same potential may be damaging if some cases are ignored.
