Abstract

TikTok, a popular platform for sharing short videos on social media, has not yet been fully explored as an educational tool. This research examines how TikTok has influenced pharmacy education, particularly concerning drug-related learning. The study compared two groups: one utilizing conventional learning methods, such as textbooks and online resources, and the other incorporating TikTok as part of their learning approach. Academic performance was assessed using multiple-choice tests. The findings showed a significant difference in performance between the two groups, with the TikTok-supported group performing better, suggesting that TikTok-based learning can improve educational outcomes. This study provides valuable insights into teaching methodologies and supports the potential of integrating social media-based learning into traditional education settings. This study emphasizes the importance of exploring innovative and engaging strategies to enhance student learning, especially in pharmacy education.
