Evaluation of TikTok as a mode of instruction in teaching science

This study investigated the influence of TikTok as a mode of instruction in teaching science. An experimental approach was employed to gather information on student engagement and knowledge retention levels. Data were collected through survey questionnaires, pre-tests, and post-tests administered to all forty-one (41) first-year Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science students over five days. The results showed that students were highly engaged in learning through TikTok. Meanwhile, the knowledge retention level of students in the Traditional group remained satisfactory in both tests. However, the TikTok group's performance improved from a satisfactory to a very satisfactory level. This indicates a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores in the TikTok group. The study confirmed that using TikTok as a teaching modality enhances students’ ability to recall information.
