This study adapted a qualitative approach which includes semi structured interview and document analysis of their Facebook group discussion platform in reflecting their teaching practicum experiences. Based on the findings, it was found that trainee teachers showed high interest in using Facebook in an academic setting. Due to certain features in Facebook that provided a systematic and structured organization of notifications, Facebook caters as a supportive virtual platform in promoting reflective practice as it provides moral support during teaching practicum session and it was able to create solidarity among them.
