This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using educational videos on TikTok to increase interest and participation among Elementary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students in Physical Education learning. In the context of digital transformation in higher education, social media platforms have emerged as potential instructional tools aligned with the characteristics of digital native learners. A quantitative research design with a survey-supported pre–post evaluation was employed involving 35 third-year PGSD students (Class of 2024). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring learning interest and participation, complemented by observational data during practical sessions. The findings indicate that 80% of students reported higher motivation, improved understanding of practical movement concepts, and greater enthusiasm when learning was supported by short, visually engaging TikTok videos. The implementation of educational TikTok content was also associated with increased active participation during in-class practice and greater involvement in physical activities outside scheduled lectures. These results conceptually align with multimedia learning theory and microlearning principles, which emphasize concise visual instruction to enhance engagement and retention. However, challenges such as digital distraction and potential misuse of online time were identified. Therefore, the pedagogical integration of social media in Physical Education requires structured instructional design and lecturer supervision. Overall, educational TikTok videos represent an innovative and adaptive learning strategy to enhance engagement in Physical Education within teacher education programs.
