“…To effectively use social media, it is essential to know the attitudes of pre-service and in-service teachers towards the use of social media in teaching. Although studies have investigated pre-service teachers' attitudes toward the importance and assistance of digital technology in teaching and learning, they consider that social media is less helpful to teaching and learning than learning management systems, collaboration tools, and complementary videos (Polly et al, 2022 ). However, most of the survey results show that pre-service teachers believe that social media can promote students' learning and develop critical thinking (Mason, 2006 ).…”

“…As pre-service teachers who have not formally entered the field of education and teaching but have mastered certain professional knowledge, skills, and concepts, they should reasonably apply social media to develop themselves in the professional training process. Previous studies have investigated pre-service teachers' perceptions of the importance and assistance of digital technology to their learning and teaching, as well as their perceived competence and interest level in digital technology (Polly et al, 2022 ). However, they have not focused on specific social media apps or the relationship between social media use and the development of STEM professional literacy of pre-service teachers.…”

Social media usage is indispensable for college students, but the connection between social media and learning has received little scientific investigation. By examining pre-service teachers' attention to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching content and presentation in social media apps through WeChat, DingTalk, and TikTok, this study aimed to provide suggestions on using social media apps to promote pre-service teachers’ skill learning and teaching development and to understand the relationship between social media and learning. 383 valid surveys were distributed and gathered. The findings indicate that: 1) Social media apps have both beneficial and detrimental effects on education. 2) The degree of agreement differs on “Social media app is an excellent teaching tool” and “social media app has significant promise in boosting educational development”. The highest and lowest levels of agreement degrees were obtained for DingTalk and TikTok. The level of identification also affects how much pre-service teachers may pay attention to educational research and how frequently they study new materials in the future. 3) The degree to which pre-service teachers' academic performance in professional learning is affected by their use of social media varies. These findings have implications for pre-service teachers. This study suggests that it is necessary to further investigate the teaching aid function of social media apps and how pre-service teachers can better utilize them to develop professional skills.

“…On the one hand, regarding the teachers' readiness to use digital technologies for teaching, Polly et al (2022) implied that teachers who worked in more rural areas were more insecure with new technology, and the older teachers felt less technologically ready than younger ones and the higher education level, the better readiness to teach with digital technologies. In the rural public secondary school, the author reflects, over 93 percent of the teachers are over 35 with the basic level of the undergraduate degree, the teachers' skills in using Ding Talk may be less efficient than the urban areas (Demir & Walker, 2022;Huang, 2020).…”

“…Implementing films to support classroom material can be beneficial when teaching academic concepts (Madsen, 2014). Supplemental videos are used to enhance instruction (Polly et al, 2022). Madsen (2014) suggested that videos can strengthen classroom discussions because they provide a familiar entry point for the students.…”
