Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of TikTok videos in enhancing Grade 9 Technology learners’ understanding of food processing. Grounded in constructivist theory, the research employed a mixed-method approach using a Concurrent Embedded Design. A total of 120 learners were sampled from three schools within the Lebowakgomo Circuit, Limpopo, South Africa. Quantitative data was collected through pre- and post-test scores, while qualitative data was collected through analysing the scripts of the learners. The findings revealed that learners who were taught using TikTok videos achieved higher scores than learners who received instruction through traditional lecture method. The findings further discovered that TikTok videos are effective in enhancing the understanding of subject matter. Our study results highlight the potential of digital platforms to enhance teaching, particularly in practical and conceptual subjects. This study recommends that teachers incorporate TikTok videos into their teaching methods to enhance conceptual understanding and make lessons more engaging. Teachers should consider creating TikTok accounts to share educational content, providing learners with accessible resources for self-study.

Abstract

This study aims to explores how Technology teachers enhance their Creative Teaching Skills by integrating Educational Technologies into their classroom practices. This study followed a qualitative research approach where a case of seven teachers enrolled for honours degree were sampled. Qualitative thematic analysis was used for the data which was collected through non-participatory observation. Through a Social Constructivism frame, the findings of this study indicate that through the planning and presentation of several lessons, the teachers showed great improvement in the integration of Educational Technologies into their classroom practices. Teachers gained knowledge and skills about the integration of Educational Technologies for planning and presenting creative lessons. This finding suggests that the teachers developed Creative Teaching Skills, gained experience, and transformed their classroom practices. Lack of policy, infrastructure, and resources in rural public schools was also discovered to be a hindrance to teachers' inability to integrate Educational Technologies into their teaching. This finding suggests that teachers’ proper training in technology integration alone is not a panacea to effective technology integration for Creative Teaching in the classroom. Therefore, it is recommended that for Creative Teaching through technology integration to flourish in the classroom, it needs to be considered along matters of ICT policy development and implementation as well as ICT infrastructure development in schools.  Integration of Educational Technologies with the Creative Teaching Skills of Technology teachers were invigorated with knowledge facts as they gained insights during their participation in the multiple planning and presentation of creative lessons.
