Abstract

This descriptive survey research examined the utilization of social media and marketing strategies in teaching business courses, as assessed by school 


administrators, faculty members, and students. The study aimed to evaluate how 


modern marketing tactics are applied to enhance student engagement and to address 


the challenges associated with integrating digital platforms into instructional practices at 


the College of Business and Public Administration (CBPA). Data were gathered 


through a structured survey questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, 


weighted mean, Likert scale, ranking, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings 


revealed a high level of social media adoption among faculty, particularly in platform 


selection and content delivery. Students reported slightly higher perceptions of usage and engagement than faculty and administrators. Moreover, ANOVA results indicated 


no statistically significant differences among the three groups\' assessments, signifying a 


consistent and shared perception of social media\'s pedagogical value. Although social 


media was recognized as an effective instructional tool that fosters interactivity and learning engagement, several challenges were identified, including limited content development skills, technological constraints, and occasional resistance to innovative 


teaching methods. The study concludes that social media serves as an essential driver 


for modern business education. It recommends institutional strategies such as 


strengthening digital infrastructure, conducting targeted faculty training, and establishing 


clear policies and best practices to optimize the effective integration of social media into 


the business curriculum.
