The Influence of Short Video Platforms on Students’ Aesthetic Literacy: A Systematic Review
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
The rapid rise of short video platforms (SVPs) such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts has transformed digital media consumption, yet their impact on students’ aesthetic literacy remains underexplored. This study systematically reviews existing literature to examine both the benefits and challenges of SVPs in aesthetic education. SVPs can enhance digital creativity, visual storytelling, and media production skills. Besides, SVPs also contribute to passive consumption, algorithmic biases, and aesthetic conformity. The systematic review yielded important findings which highlight the need for structured educational strategies that promote active engagement, critical thinking, and creative expression. Importantly, educators play a crucial role in guiding students toward deeper aesthetic appreciation through media literacy training, student-generated content, and interactive analysis. This study also highlights the necessity of curriculum adaptation to integrate SVPs effectively. Future research should focus on longitudinal and experimental studies to assess the long-term influence of SVPs and the role of AI-driven curation in shaping artistic exposure. These insights can contribute to the growing discourse on digital aesthetics as well as educational innovation in media-rich learning environments.
