Instagram's contribution to learning : A qualitative study of how young adults describes the impact of social media on learning in relation to health. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Användandet av sociala medier, framförallt plattformen Instagram har under den senaste tiden ökat hos unga vuxna. Instagram anses vara en social plattform, där individer skapar sociala relationer och integrerar med varandra, men även en plattform som bidrar till kunskapsutveckling och ett lärande. Syftet med studien var att beskriva unga vuxnas lärande i relation till området hälsa på den sociala medieplattformen Instagram. Detta är en kvalitativ studie där enskilda intervjuer används som datainsamlingsmetod. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys ligger i grund för studiens analysprocess med en abduktiv ansats. Urvalet bestod av 12 intervjupersoner i åldrarna 20–30 år. I resultatet framgår det att deltagarna upplever att de får en ökad kunskap om hälsa. Instagram bidrar även till förändrade hälsopraktiker. Studien visar att Instagram är en plattform där individerna lär sig ur två olika informella perspektiv. Lärandet på den sociala medieplattformen sker dels genom att individen iakttar information självständigt. Dels genom gemenskap och interaktion. Avslutningsvis visar studien att Instagram är en inspirations- och motivationskälla för individen till att vilja utveckla sina levnadsvanor och hälsopraktiker. 

Abstract [en]

The use of social media, Instagram in particular has recently increased in young adults lives. Instagram is considered a social platform, where individuals both create social relationships and integrate with each other, but also a platform that contributes to knowledge development and learning. The purpose of the study was to describe young adults' learning in relation to the area of health on the social media platform Instagram. This is a qualitative study where individual interviews were used as a data collection method. Qualitative content analysis forms the basis of the study's analysis process with regard to an abductive approach. The sample consisted of 12 interviewees aged between 20 to 30 years. The results show that the participants feel that they have an increased knowledge of health. Instagram also contributes to change health practices. It is a platform where individuals learn from two different informal perspectives. On one hand it is through the individual observation of information, independently, and on the other way it is through informal learning by community and interaction. Finally, can Instagram be a great source of inspiration and motivation for the individual to aspire to develop their living habits and health practices.
