Learning from the perspective of ecologies: an experience in Secondary Education through theatre and Tiktok

This paper aims to analyse a didactic and innovative experience and to reflect on its implications within the frame of learning ecologies. We will be describing how a Spanish Language and Literature Secondary school teacher transforms and enriches his educational practices while fostering new learning formats outside the physical classroom. In this case, the use of theatre makes sense as a potentially pedagogical tool together with the social network TikTok, the latter becoming a virtual environment offering new educational opportunities. A qualitative methodology based on observation and document analysis was used for this purpose, allowing us to gain a deep understanding of the object of study, its educational reality and its implications from the perspective of learning ecologies. Results show the value of long-life learning experiences, both for the teacher and for the participants, together with the impact on their identities. There is an evident need to use ICT resources such as TikTok in the classroom. These resources may encourage learning experiences, consistent with the sociocultural needs of the individuals, fostering curriculum enrichment, and stimulating a comprehensive and expanded idea of education in all levels.
