Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Over time, TikTok has evolved from a content-sharing platform into an educational tool, with one of its primary applications being a teaching media. The purpose of this study is to analyze how TikTok content can be utilized as an alternative media for teaching physics education. This study employs a mixed-methods approach by collecting data through questionnaire, participant observation, and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that using TikTok as an alternative media for physics education can effectively increase students' motivation and engagement. However, successful implementation requires careful attention to teachers' access, content quality, and guidance. The main conclusion is that educational content on the TikTok platform benefits students' learning in physics education, but certain factors must be considered in its application. In summary, this study contributes to the advancement of online education, particularly in the context of blended learning.
