The Impact of Viewing Quality Tiktok Educational Videos Towards the Actual Safety Wiring Techniques

This study examines how quality TikTok educational videos affect the safety wiring performance of third-year Aircraft Maintenance Technology students at Indiana Aerospace University during AY 2024–2025. As short-form videos grow in technical education, the research explores their impact on knowledge retention, learning effectiveness, and hands-on skills. Guided by the Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) framework, Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, Dual Coding Theory, Media Richness and Engagement Theory, and Microlearning Effectiveness Theory, the study highlights how visual-verbal content and brief, focused instruction aid learning. Using a quantitative approach with surveys and pre- and post-assessments involving 100 students, the results show that well-made TikTok videos improve memory and accuracy in safety wiring. However, issues such as poor video quality, unclear steps, and limited practical readiness persist. The study recommends integrating curated TikTok content with traditional methods to enhance technical training.
