Abstract

Social networking today is an important factor in influencing public opinion and directing social cultures. Despite the many environmental crises around the world, environmental issues have more socio-cultural content than technical terms. Therefore, the ultimate goal of environmental protection in relation to the social environment is the development and increase of environmental awareness at the community level and the strengthening of the environmental culture at various levels of implementation. Accordingly, the main objective of the research is to investigate the role of the social network of telegrams in the culture of environmental values and rocks that were selected through random sampling from the 19 areas of education in Tehran. Three of the 340 teachers were selected for statistical sample size. In this research, an Internet questionnaire was used which individuals were assessed using the content provided in environmental education. To obtain the research findings, Tavlandand, Chi-square and multivariate regression models were used. The results of the research show that there is a reverse relationship between the amount of use and the actual perception of the content in the telegram, and there is a significant positive relationship between the amount of participation and activity of teachers in the use of telegrams and the environment of teachers. That is, the more use is increased the cultural prominence of their environment decreases. The findings also point to the fact that teachers use the telegram to fit their cultural needs.
