TikTok is one of the famous applications in Asia, they use TikTok to entertain
people or promote some products. TikTok can be referred to as a platform where
people can make videos lasting for about 15 seconds, these videos then run in a
loop. Users can select the next one after that. Merging video clips is also possible,
therefore it is possible to produce clips that are 60 seconds in length. Videos can
include music samples, filters, quick cuts, stickers, and other accessories. The
TikTok application can be also used to view video content created by other TikTok
accounts besides that users can also see how many likes, comments, and the
number of shares of the video. According to Rachmania and Cahyono (2021) In the
TikTok application, if users apply it correctly, it will be a positive value and a source
of fortune for users, because TikTok, if someone's account gets a lot of attention for
other users and becomes the motivation for the community, it will be one of the
incomes for them. According to Kusumandaru and Rahmawati (2022) This shows
that TikTok has a big influence on the dissemination of information, both positive
information or that can increase knowledge and negative information.
Most of the students use TikTok now to spend their time to distract their self.
However, TikTok has many impacts to students it can be behavior, mental health,
academic performance and etc. Through behavior it can adapt on what they are
watching, academic performance it can distract them from using TikTok. According
to C. Diol (2020) The use of application TikTok has had a very little negative impact
on teenagers and young adult students. Therefore, there is a negative impact on
every student because sometimes what they watch they imitate, like trends that
should not be imitated. But TikTok also has a positive impact on students because it
also provides right information that users can watch and understand, like how to do
research or what research is. Most of the users are students and it can help them to
improve their learnings since some of video contents are giving educational advice.
The good effect of using TikTok is a lot of students learn important skills on
TikTok that they can apply in class and the work. Not all of students have a
confidence, some of them are just naturally shy, so TikTok is encouraging them to
improve their self-confidence by practicing their pronunciation and speaking skill in
front of the camera. This can be useful, especially during school or work. and they
can explore their imagination and get creative by coming up of different ideas on
TikTok, this will help them especially when it comes to professions like advertising,
digital, social media. This study can find that students can absorb and learn better
through TikTok rather than sticking to the traditional lecture-based lesson and
homework all the time.
There are many negative effects of TikTok on people, especially on students.
Some negative effects that students can get are addiction, time waste, a lack of
privacy, cyberbullying and its impact on self-esteem, and a distorted perception of
reality. These are the negative effects of TikTok on the students because of their
excessive use of the platform. Excessive use of TikTok can also lead to hunger and
ruin others mental health. Some people spread misinformation about the person,
saying that they want to ruin their career because of jealousy. People found it funny
and will spread it on social media. TikTok has many negative effects on people, and
students should lessen the use of it.
While TikTok can be an engaging and creative outlet, the addictive nature of its
short videos may distract students from schoolwork (Anderson & Jiang, 2018).
TikTok is so addictive and can easily grab and keep people’s attention, it can harm
how well students study and do in school. When students spend too much time on
TikTok or other social media, they often lose focus on their academics. According to
Hammond (2022) Younger students also viewed TikTok as academically motivating.
These benefits could stem from exposure to educational context, development of
21st century skills, and increased engagement and motivation in learning. TikTok
has also a good affect to the academic performances of the students. These
benefits of TikTok contents provides an educational value, like tutorials, study tips
and some are providing teaching on TikTok. TikTok enables users to promote various
talents, skills, and business ventures for a massive online community (Pittman &
Reich, 2016) It also can help TikTok users to sell, pay bills at school, and rent. TikTok
users can sell things clothes, beauty products, school supplies, etc. Understanding
both opportunities and risks could offer a balanced perspective.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between TikTok
engagement and self-esteem outcomes to Grade 11 students in La Purisima
National High School. While TikTok has become a popular platform among young
people. This research study aims to address this gap in knowledge by exploring the
impact of TikTok and it may impact the self-esteem of Grade 11 students.
