For analyzing the collected data, frequency, percentage and mean were used in the descriptive statistics section, and in the inferential statistics section, the Pearson and Kolmogorov-Smirnov correlation coefficients were used to determine the normality of the data. SPSS 26 statistical software was used to analyze the data.
Findings: The research findings showed that from the perspective of school administrators in Dorud city, there is a positive and significant relationship between infrastructure barriers (0.545), technical barriers (0.489) and equipment barriers (0.551) with the correct and optimal use of the students' social network (SHAD).
