Gifted youth education and learning from social media, a new concept proposal in education literature: garbage learning

Abstract

Many technology-based learning tools such as post-pandemic social media, virtual learning and now metaverse learning have positive aspects. However, social media has started to take its place in learning practices as a tool that provides verbal cultural transfer in the medieval period and underdeveloped societies. This situation of social media, which does not have much control, supervision and questioning, has led to the emergence of a new concept of learning. I present this new concept as "garbage learning" to the educational research literature. Does garbage learning affect the education of young scientists with a milky mind? I make suggestions for JEGYS to be a platform that creates academic discussions around this subject.
