Abstract

The advancement of social networks and the use of new technologies are a part of our society, as it is in continuous technological advancement and the demands placed on technology are higher and higher. The aim of this work is to study the use of TikTok by future physical education teachers and their views on its use in schools. The sample consisted of students from the University of Granada (n = 50) who are studying for a degree in primary education, with a specialization in physical education. Results show that there is little teacher training on emerging social networks and little observation and research on profiles related to teaching and physical activity. The study uses a questionnaire and an interview with two teachers to examine the possible incorporation of the social network TikTok in the classroom, as well as the practice of physical exercise by students in their free time using this application.
