Reglab presents its latest study: “Teachtok and the New Learning Journeys.”
In this qualitative research, we investigated how K-12 and university entrance exam (pre-med/pre-college) teachers are utilizing short-form video platforms as a complementary practice to their classroom work. The study explores the concept of Scroll Learning—where learning occurs in a non-linear and incidental way—and analyzes the rise of “Teachtokers”: educators who blend pedagogical techniques with the unique language of social media.
Key Topics Covered:
-
Shifting Teacher-Student Dynamics: In the digital environment, the relationship between teacher and student becomes closer and less formal.
-
A Complement to Formal Education: TikTok is used as a tool for initial engagement, sparking curiosity, and cultural mediation.
-
A New Didactic: Educators adapt educational content to the platform’s native formats, expanding the reach of school subjects among young people.
