The purpose of this study is to identify the perception of Telegram and Instagram use by graduate students of Allameh Tabataba'i University using the uses and gratification expectancy model.

The research consisted of an analysis of data collected via surveys. The overall statistical population was the 2,200 postgraduate students of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of Allameh Tabataba'i University. The sample size was 327 based on a Morgan table; data were gathered using a researcher-designed questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a factor analysis test to confirm the validity of the questions and identify key factors of each component and structural equation modeling technique was used.

Analysis of variables showed that while the satisfaction with information sharing using Instagram was stronger than Telegram, with a path coefficient of 0.209, the satisfaction with the effect of perceived pleasure using Telegram was higher than Instagram, with a path coefficient of 0.266. There were no significant differences in the other variables: social interaction, spending time, self-reporting, and media attractiveness.

The results showed that graduate students used both media for different purposes such as social interaction, spending time and self-reporting, and despite the filtering of Telegram, no significant difference was observed between the use of Telegram and Instagram, and almost both media was equally sought after by users.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the students’ information sharing behavior in the universities of South Khorasan Province in the social network sites of Instagram, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

This research was of an applied type and was conducted through a survey method. The study population consisted of all the students of universities affiliated to the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in South Khorasan Province in Iran who were studying in the academic year of 2018-2019 with a minimum experience of six months in using one of the social network sites of Telegram, Instagram or WhatsApp.

Only about 33% of the respondents have used social network sites for less than an hour during 24h. The rate of use has been more than three hours in 24h for about 24.5% of the respondents. Nearly 50 percent of respondents have used social network sites for more than three years, and only about 13 percent have experienced using these networks between six months to a year. Among the social network sites surveyed, respondents mostly used Telegram to share information. The results showed that students shared information on social network sites more than average. In choosing a social network, there was no significant difference between the information sharing behavior of male and female students and students of different fields of study, but there was a significant difference between the information sharing behavior of students of different educational levels. In addition, the results showed that there was a significant difference between sharing economic, personal, and family, art, and sports information by male and female respondents. There was also a significant difference between economic, cultural- social, and religious information shared by students in different fields of study on social network sites. There was a significant difference between respondents of different educational levels regarding economic, entertaining, occupational-professional, cultural-social, religious, artistic, and sports information shared in social network sites

Students spend a lot of time sharing information on social network sites.

Since today the use of mobile phones is extremely widespread, and individuals with different age groups and social classes devote a considerable amount of time to using these social networks, training the use of these networks can provide a platform for improving reading habits among young people. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Telegram messenger networks on the reading habits of the student teachers of Farhangian University of South Khorasan Province.

The current research is an applied study in terms of purpose and a quasi-experimental one in terms of data gathering method, using a pretest-posttest design on an experimental group and a control group. The research population included all the student teachers of Farhangian University of South Khorasan Province who studied in the academic year of 2017-2018. Student teacherschr('39') reading habits were measured using the Palsani and Sharma (1989) study habits questionnaire. The reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.70. Based on the aim of the present study, Telegram was considered a context to study the reading habits of student teachers and a protocol based on the framework of Rogers Innovation Theory was designed and then the experimental group was given the necessary training.

The results show that there no significant difference between the mean scores of reading habits of the experimental group (mean=6/43, SD= 21/43) and control group (-1/58, SD=18/83) (t=-1/58, p=0/12). An analysis of the findings reveals that students actually find it difficult to read through mobile-based messaging networks, and therefore it can be concluded that increasing the level of knowledge and skills of students in using these networks can increase the probability of its impact in reading. The results also showed that although mobile-based messaging networks have many capabilities in the exchange of information, educational goals, development and promotion of reading culture, in the present study, they had no effect on the reading habit of the student teachers of Farhangian University. It seems that due to the lack of student teacherschr('39') knowledge, they have not acquired the skills required to use this platform for improving reading habits. Student teachers also find it difficult to read through messenger networks. Therefore, they need a structured education in this area as the main requirements enabling them to use this platform for studying and exchanging scientific information.

Considering that previous research used the quantitative research approach, the present study has a methodological innovation implemented in the context of the Farhangian University in South Khorasan Province.
