Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine how frequently social media is being utilized by
business teacher educators in Nigeria and for what purpose. Specifically, the research problem was
to determine the kinds of pedagogical practices associated with using social media for teaching.
Surveys were received from 69 business teacher educators situated in 5 states in Nigeria of which
41 were from polytechnic institutions, 22 from colleges of education, and 5 from universities. The
findings indicate that social media is only being marginally implemented in business teacher
education in Nigeria. However, a significant number of business teacher educators would like to
see the use of social media expanded by becoming more informed as to instructional alternatives.
