Abstract:

The rise of Globalization and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) confront educators to explore innovative teaching practices that would not only effectively teach the content but would also promote motivation to learn the subject and the so-called transversal competencies. This study employed a quasi-experimental design and involved 45 senior high school non-STEM track students to examine the effectiveness of Guided Experience Approach Through Mobile Devices (GEATMD) as an innovative teaching practice to improve students' conceptual understanding of the topic Bioenergetics, motivation in learning Biology, and in supporting transversal competencies. The effectiveness of GEATMD was evaluated by inspecting students' pre-test and post-test scores, students' journal logs, classroom observation evaluations, students' outputs, and responses to survey questionnaires. Results indicate that GEATMD was effective in improving students' understanding of Bioenergetics, supporting technology integration to promote transversal competencies, and in improving students' motivation particularly in Intrinsic Motivation, Amotivation, Extrinsic Motivation-Social, and Extrinsic Motivation.
