RegLab presents its newest study: “TeachTok and the New Learning Journeys.”
In this qualitative research, we investigate how K–12 and pre-college educators are using short-form video platforms to transform teaching practices. The study explores the concept of Scroll Learning, in which learning happens in a non-linear and incidental way, and analyzes the rise of “Teachtokers” — educators who blend pedagogical techniques with the language and dynamics of social media.
The main topics covered include:
Methodology and Trajectory:
The profiles of educators who migrated to digital platforms during and after the pandemic, and the motivations behind this transition.
Challenges of Digital Teaching:
The overload of the “self-team” (solo creator labor) and the lack of institutional media literacy frameworks.
Critical Analysis:
The impact of platform constraints and digital environments on contemporary learning journeys.
This report provides data and evidence for companies, associations, and public policy makers to better understand the future of algorithm-mediated education.
