Abstract
Since TikTok was released in 2016, more and more people have found TikTok interesting and have tried to become users. TikTok contains many features, such as video, chat, learning, and working. People can relax and have fun in their spare time with TikTok. Nevertheless, as TikTok has become increasingly popular, more students are becoming the primary users of TikTok. At the same time, the variety of short videos available on TikTok can lead to inconsistent content quality due to their low cost of production. As instructors, schoolteachers must know how students are affected when watching TikTok. After literature review, this paper mainly found the four areas of influence from TikTok that students will experience during the emergence phase: psychological influence, physical influence, behavioral influence, and positive influence. These four areas of influence indicate how instructors should properly guide students in using TikTok, which will provide references for future instructors and students in the education area.
