Systematic Review on Utilization of Douyin Knowledge-Based Short Video in Education

2025-06-11T14:58:10+00:00

The advent of digital technologies has reshaped educational practices globally, with short video platforms like Douyin (TikTok in international markets) emerging as influential tools for informal learning. This systematic review explores the utilization of Douyin’s knowledge-based short videos in educational contexts. Drawing on 45 peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2024, the review synthesizes evidence on the types of educational content available, patterns of learner engagement, and pedagogical implications. Findings indicate that Douyin effectively supports microlearning, particularly in domains such as language acquisition, science communication, and vocational training. The platform’s algorithm-driven content personalization and multimedia features enhance learner motivation and interaction. However, challenges such as content quality control, potential distractions, and the oversimplification of complex concepts are also identified. While Douyin fosters active and personalized learning, its integration into formal education requires careful pedagogical design and robust quality assurance. This paper concludes by recommending strategies for educators and researchers to harness Douyin’s potential while mitigating its limitations. Future research should focus on longitudinal impacts, content assessment frameworks, and cross-cultural comparisons to fully understand the platform’s educational value. Douyin exemplifies the transformative potential of short-video platforms in evolving digital learning ecosystems.
