Abstract
Digital learning tools are prevalent in science education, yet few are purposefully designed to integrate culture-based and brain-based strategies tailored to the contextual needs of preservice teachers in genetics instruction. This action research investigated the impact of a Culture-Based Teaching Genetics Digital Tool (CBT-GenDiTool) on student achievement, socio-emotional learning, and engagement among 68 second-year science teacher education students. Guided by the PDSA model and grounded in Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism and Hammond’s Culturally Responsive Teaching, the tool was developed through a learner-centered process that integrated culture-based pedagogy, brain-based learning principles, and interactive educational technology. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests, SEL and engagement surveys, and behavioral observations were complemented by qualitative insights from reflective prompts and focus group discussions. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests revealed statistically significant gains in genetics achievement (Z = -7.172, p < .001, r = .87) and socio-emotional learning (Z = -6.07, p < .001, r = .74), though no significant relationship was found between the two constructs. Gains were observed across various demographic subgroups. Engagement surveys and BERI protocol-based classroom observations indicated high levels of behavioral and cognitive engagement during culturally relevant, technology-supported activities. Thematic analysis of reflective responses and focus group data highlighted enhanced conceptual understanding, shifts in cultural perspectives, and positive affective experiences, alongside technical challenges and adaptive strategies. These findings affirm the effectiveness of CBT-GenDiTool in enhancing cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral development, highlighting the value of integrating cultural, brain-based, and technological strategies in science education.
