The study employed a mixed-methods approach, collecting quantitative data through a survey of 66 teachers and qualitative data from interviews with 8 teachers with more than 10 years of experience. The results indicated that social media significantly contributes to improving professional competence by enhancing communication, resource sharing, and educational skill development.
