Integration of Facebook Messenger in Coordinating Aviation Student Activities

This study evaluated the integration of Facebook Messenger as a communication and coordination tool among aviation students at Indiana Aerospace University for the 2024–2025 academic year. Facebook Messenger, widely used in the Philippines, offers real-time communication, file sharing, and accessibility across devices, which makes it a potentially effective platform for academic coordination. The study was conducted in June 2025 and utilized a mixed-methods approach involving 100 aviation students from the BSAT course through surveys and open-ended responses. Surveys employed a 4-point Likert scale to assess the integration of Messenger, Flight scheduling, and the dissemination of aviation information. Results indicated that Messenger is heavily utilized for student coordination, particularly for sharing real-time updates and information. However, students encountered challenges, including delayed responses, file size limitations, off-topic discussions, and internet connectivity issues. To culminate the study, the researchers proposed an action plan, conducted digital literacy sessions, shared findings online, and recommended the integration of supplemental tools to enhance Messenger's effectiveness in aviation education
