The study examined the effects of Facebook Group Class (FGC) platform on postgraduates’ lectures and learning outcomes in Science Education in some Universities in South West, Nigeria. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test control quasi-experimental design. The sample for the study was 56 postgraduates selected from four Universities in South West Nigeria. Purpose sampling technique was used to select four Universities offering Postgraduate programme in Science Education. The instruments used for the study were a 20-item questionnaire on Attitude of Postgraduates towards the studying of Science Education (QAPSSE) and Postgraduates’ Performance Test (PPT). The PPT comprised 10 essay type items. Validity of the instruments was ensured and the reliability was determined using Kuder-Rechardson 20 (Kr20). The two instruments were administered using descriptive and Inferential Statistics. The outcome of the analysis revealed that postgraduates’ attitude towards the studying of Science Education improved and their performance enhanced when exposed to the use of Facebook Group Class. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Facebook Group Class should be used for Postgraduates in their studies.
