Abstract
<p class="Paragraph"><span lang="EN-GB">The objectives of the study are to conduct a survey among students and teachers of Russian universities, which will determine their general attitude to the use of social networks in education; to identify the functions of social networks from the perspective of respondents; based on the results of both stages of the study, to determine the role of social networks in the educational process. Students and teachers of four Russian universities (MGIMO University, Kuban State Technological University, North-Eastern Federal University, Russian State Social University) took part in the survey. A total of 500 students and 100 teachers were interviewed. The results of the first part of the study showed that the attitude of students and teachers towards the use of social networks in education is generally positive. Both groups of respondents noted the advantages of introducing social networks into the educational process and also stated their willingness to increase their use. When using social networks in education, students can fill in special forms to indicate social network accounts to be subsequently used. Also, the administration of group chats can be taken under the control of the university for the purpose of a more structured exchange of information/educational materials.</span><strong></strong></p>

This indicator can be considered as positive as it may indicate that the introduction of social networks into education will not be opposed by students and, more importantly, teachers
Despite this fact, most teachers did not agree that social networks can positively influence student motivation, and more than 50% of them concluded that the use of these resources can make communication between teachers and students excessively informal
