TikTok, a rapidly expanding platform known for its short-form videos, has garnered increasing interest for its potential in education. This review explores TikTok’s use in both formal and informal learning environments by analyzing 30 studies published since 2020. It examines how the platform can engage students, improve knowledge retention, and promote digital literacy. While TikTok successfully captures student interest, concerns persist regarding its capacity to support deep learning and critical thinking. Additionally, balancing its entertainment focus with academic rigor remains a challenge. The review provides practical recommendations for integrating TikTok into educational practices, emphasizing the importance of aligning its use with specific learning objectives. The findings suggest that, with the right strategies, TikTok can serve as a valuable educational tool, though further research is needed to address its limitations.
