Manila.
Back ground of the study
In today’s situation, people are doing their duty to strive and cope up with the new normal. The
Department of Education find new ways to teach the students without interacting personally and safely. Online
class is the learning set up that’s chosen to continue the education that has been stopped for months. It’s one
advantage is that you can be present on your class wherever you are. (Gautam, 2020) Basically Tiktok is a social
media app which entertains many people around the world and did a huge impact to everyone especially to the
teens and students. TikTok is one of the social media apps that is utilized by the teachers to set up digital
schoolwork. (Edwards, 2021) Through tiktok, students are engaged to do more creative works either an individual
task or a group-interactive task. (ibid. section 1) Education, on the other hand, as well as social media is
revolutionizing educational contexts, and online or blended education is becoming more prevalent. As a result, the
Since TikTok is very prominent among teens; 13- to 24-year-olds make up to 69 percent
of TikTok's user base, and the app plays an important role in young people's social and cultural
lives, both reflecting and developing nowadays learning (Kale, 2020). It is becoming a source of
education in addition to being a source of amusement and entertainment. This research,
therefore, aims to prove that Tiktok is a beneficial and educational tool for senior high school
students at the Universidad de Manila.
Statement of the Problem
The primary objective of this study is to determine if Tiktok can be utilized as an educational tool
for Senior High School students studying in Universidad de Manila, S.Y. 2021-2022
1. How would you classify the profile of Senior High School pupils in terms of:
1.1. Name;
1.2. Age;
1.3. Gender;
3. Is using Tiktok as an educational tool advantageous to senior high school pupils from Universidad
de Manila?
4. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using Tiktok as an educational tool?
Hypothesis
In this study the researchers will explore four possible hypotheses. To begin with, if students
respond positively to the questionnaire and interviews, then we conclude that Tiktok has proven to
be a beneficial tool for senior high school students and that this platform can be used for
educational purposes. Next is, Students who said Tiktok was a big help in their academics are
more likely to get better grades; as they are learning beyond the "schooling hours." Furthermore,
since not all videos and tutorials on this platform are credible and accurate, therefore we can say
that Tiktok cannot be classified an instrument in the field of education. Finally, Tiktok does not
provide any assistance to the pupils in their studies at all; rather, it is used solely for
entertainment.
Significance of the study
This research shows how the Tiktok app can be used as an educational tool for Senior High
because it is rapidly gaining popularity. We are all aware that the new normal in education is one
of the issues that each student is now facing, particularly those who are slow learners. As a result,
the purpose of this research is to determine how the Tiktok app can be used to assist students in
Senior High students at Universidad de Manila will benefit from this research simply by being
encouraged to use the tiktok app as an educational tool. Modular students benefit from this study as
well, because it can help them study on their own and guide them for a specific topic. It is especially
beneficial to slow learner students, who can simply re-watch the video if they didn't get it the first
time. Tiktok can also help them with their activities; they can use it to record and edit videos.
Teachers:
They can use it to educate their students by posting videos on Tiktok that are related to a
specific topic. They can also go live in Tiktok for more in-depth explanations. They can use it to
They can use this study as a framework, basis and a pattern for their own purposes. The
findings of this study can help them about the research that they are conducting. It may also inspire
them to develop platforms that will benefit the majority of students, particularly those with special
needs.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
TikTok is the fastest-growing application today, attracting a vast audience of 1.5 billion active
users, primarily children, and teenagers. This study aims to prove how Tiktok can be used as an
educational tool in Senior High School and how useful it can be in the field of education.
The scope of this study is limited to the senior high school students of Universidad De Manila
during the school year 2021-2022, who will be contacted through the class presidents of each class.
After we gather volunteers, they will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to evaluate how
helpful educational videos we compiled on TikTok and how such a study affects their student lives.
After the questionnaire, they will be asked to complete a survey that will determine the rankings of
Third, there are many content makers on Tiktok; however, there aren't many informative ones.
Fourth, because the fields we'll collect are those connected to subjects HUMSS students study, it's
conceivable that we won't be able to cover all educational topics in TikTok. Finally, the credibility of
Tiktok. There is no previous study regarding evaluation and credibility on this platform. TikTok, social
media, and the internet, on the other hand, were not considered reliable sources of information by
the participants (Manangon, 2021)

Theoretical Framework
This study is supported by the theory of Mayer’s 12 Principles of Multimedia Learning.
According to this theory, students learn more thoroughly from words and pictures than just words
because they may draw significant connections between them. The human information-processing
system contains three memory stores: sensory memory, working memory, and long-term memory
(Richard Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning | McGraw-Hill Canada, 2019). The
current study aims to provide insights into the TikTok application as an educational tool in learning,

Six of the 12 principles are in line with the findings of this study.
1. Spatial Contiguity Principle
The Spatial Contiguity Principle is about the space in between text and visuals on the screen,
stating that humans learn best when relevant text and visuals are physically close together. In the
context of this study, the TikTok application is more convenient. It gives the best learnings because
the text and visual presentation are physically close together and easier to understand.
The Temporal Contiguity Principle states that humans learn best when corresponding
words and visuals are presented together instead of in consecutive order. Within the
context of this research, using words and visuals together or simultaneously gives the best
According to the Pre-training Principle, people learn more quickly if they already know
definitions, words, and ideas. This technique helps students develop more complex thinking as
a class or course progresses. Even before it was launched as a learning tool, TikTok was
actively utilized for entertainment. As a result, they already knew the foundations of TikTok,
The Modality Principle states that humans learn best from visuals and spoken words than
from visuals and printed words. This doesn’t mean that you should never use text on screen; it
simply means that if there are visuals and too much text, learners will be overwhelmed. TikTok
gives more relevant learning visuals and spoken words that are easier to understand than
written or printed words suitable to the viewers and even Users to express their feelings or
According to the Multimedia Principle, people learn better from words and visuals together
than simply words alone. This idea that visuals plus words are more successful than words alone
underpin all of Mayer's other principles. Users may think beyond the box using TikTok. Users may
add additional features to their TikTok presentations than only photos and words, such as their
films, animations, narration, music, and sound effects, to make them more lively, instructive,
engaging, and enjoyable. This made it easier for students to learn because of words and pictures
The Image Principle asserts that while talking head films are popular in eLearning and
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), they do not always aid in the learning process. The
premise is that if important information must be learned, relevant graphics on the screen will be
more successful than a talking-head video of a teacher or instructor. On TikTok, users may
make themselves visible in the video using a function. They can still use special effects to
convey their messages without speaking anything. Students do not always learn more from a

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The research design focuses on the TikTok application, which is utilized for educational
purposes. Since the implementation of pandemic lockdown, TikTok has become the most popular
app (TikTok Named as the Most Downloaded App of 2020, 2021), allowing educators and content
creators to use TikTok as a teaching tool. The makers of this study also include the need for learners
to apply their learnings in TikTok to their academics and daily lives to get better academic
find information by gathering the data through open-ended questions, which will then be
analysed and provide accurate and reliable findings to examine the advantages and limitations
of TikTok as an educational method. This design facilitates the collection and analysis of
qualitative data relating to students' TikTok experiences and learnings. Researchers will also
accomplishment as well as rankings of academic areas found on TikTok that may be useful to
students.
The research focuses on two major questions:
2. What are the benefits and drawbacks of TikTok as an educational tool for students?
The sub-questions to be addressed under each overarching question for the research project are
Main question 1: What impact does TikTok have on students' academic performance?
Sub questions:
1. What impacts does TikTok have on students’ participation in class as an educational tool?
4. What does affect daily uses of TikTok have an attention span of Senior High School?
Main question 2: What are the benefits and drawbacks of TikTok as an educational tool for
students?
Sub questions:
3. What are the effects of regular TikTok use on the students’ attention span?
4. What are the effects of TikTok regular usage on the students’ time management?
In this part of the chapter the setting, respondents and assurance will be showed.
Universidad De Manila (UDM) was formerly identified as City College of Manila. It was
established in 1995 in accordance with Ordinance No. 7885 by the Council of Manila City. Mayor
Alfredo Lim is the founder and was renamed on the year 2006 by Mayor Lito Atienza.
In the center of Manila is where the main campus located at along Bonifacio Shrine, Mehan
Garden, Light Rail Transit Central Terminal Station and SM City Manila.
The study will be conducted inside the campus. This place is chosen to know the beneficial
purpose or use of the TikTok App specifically and mainly in Education. Since the face-to-face
interaction is strictly implemented, the conduction of the survey will be in various online platforms.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of the study will come from Universidad De Manila to make it precise and
more specific. Selective sampling or subjective sampling is a way in which this technique relies on the
judgement of the researcher when choosing who to ask to participate. (Shantikumar, 2018) The
respondents are carefully selected to take part in the survey. It is decided that every strand in Grade
11, Senior High School specifically given; STEM, ABM, HUMSS, ICT, H.E and GAS will be the samples
of this study.
One hundred (100) is the certain number of responses that is aimed in the survey. The
survey will contain the students’ classification profile (profile given stated in chapter 1) as well as the
permission to take part in this study.
It is assured that all the information and data that are gathered from the respondents in the
survey will remain confidential
Research Instruments
For this study, the researchers will use a questionnaire, with a series of open-ended
questions as the research instrument. This only employ that the given instrument- questionnaire;
will serve as a survey and a reference for the whole research. There will be three components
that will make up the research instrument. The first section consisted of items that will collect
demographic information about the respondents, such as their name, age, gender, their strand,
and grade level. The second part of the research instrument will be composed of questions with
multiple options. This section intends to collect data regarding on the estimated number of hours
a student spends on TikTok per day and other predetermined choices. The last segment of the
questionnaire will include open-ended questions; that will sum up the whole research instrument.
This questionnaire will be answered completely online. The research instrument will be
prepared using Google Forms and will be disseminated through different media platforms like
Telegram, Facebook, and Messenger. Respondents can use their Cellular phones, Laptops, and
any other device with internet connectivity to complete the survey. This will make it easier for
the researchers to acquire data and receive feedback from the selected students.
Validation of the Research Instrument
The word content validity indicates how effectively a survey or test assesses the construct
it is designed to measure. The measure's validity and reliability are directly related (Zach,
2021). As a result, the researchers decided to assess the research instrument using content
validity. The problem statement, hypothesis, and literature review serve as the foundation for
the formulated research questionnaires. An expert will then evaluate the research instrument to
Initially, the researchers conducted brainstorming where they planned the steps or procedures
to be used on how to gather data that is necessary for the study. It is agreed upon those three
methods would be used. Such methods are questionnaires, survey interview and group interview.
For the first method, we formulated a set of questions regarding the affectivity of TikTok as an
educational tool. These questions are answerable by yes or no and will be used for the
questionnaire. The data collection instrument must be organized and pilot-tested to obtain
of conducting a personal interview survey is to explore the responses of the people to gather more
and deeper information. These are not only answerable by yes or no but are also requiring the reason
Lastly, a group interview is also formed. Group interviewing is the systematic questioning of
several individuals simultaneously in formal or informal settings. The mode for this method is through
a virtual meeting. The researchers prepared questions for the meet participants that will also be
assessed and compared to the responses received in the questionnaire and survey interview.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The quantitative aspect of this research will be only for the demographic profile of the
respondents and statistics on the projected number of hours a student spends on TikTok every day,
while the qualitative component will be for the remaining part of the research paper.
Frequency- the number of times the data value occurred or was recorded in the research is
known as frequency.
Percentage- Percentage is a relative figure that represents one hundredth of a quantity. It's also
This study will conduct variety of open-ended questions. It will be given to the selected senior high
school students from each strand. The collected data will be based on the students' perspectives and
responses to the questionnaire and interviews. The data obtained from the findings through several open-
ended questions will be analysed using content analysis, and the data acquired from the profile of the
respondents and the number of hours a student spends on the app will be subjected to statistical analysis.
The researchers have agreed to use this technique of methodology to interpret the respondents'
feedbacks and construct the results, as well as to establish the study's conclusions, which are meant to
assess if TikTok can be used as an educational tool and can help to improve academic performance among
