The Effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) Assisted by TikTok Media on Creative Thinking Skills (KBsK) among Form Six Geography Students

Abstract

The Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach incorporating TikTok media has shown remarkable potential in improving Creative Thinking Skills (KBsK) among Form Six Geography students. This technique, which uses TikTok media as a teaching tool, has opened up opportunities for students to engage in exploration and learning based on direct experience and thus makes the learning process more delightful, relevant and realistic. This research operated the quasi-experimental method with Post-test Only Control Group Design for the data analysis. This data was obtained from two groups, namely the experimental group (6UKM) and the control group (6UiTM), to compare the effectiveness of the PBL approach assisted by TikTok. The study results confirmed that students who followed PBL learning with TikTok media revealed a significant increase in KBsK compared to students who did not use the approach, based on a significant value of 0.000 < 0.005. Through the use of PBL with the assistance of social media such as TikTok, students not only have the opportunity to boost their KBsK but also can recall Geography facts better. Therefore, TikTok is a famous and readily available platform, and it can also help students construct a more in-depth understanding and continuously strengthen their knowledge, which can be used as a pertinent and valuable teaching strategy in modern education.
