| Abstract | This research focused on developing the Brain-Based Design Thinking Process (BDTP) and investigating its effects on students' innovative skills and academic grit in secondary level Biology. It also investigated whether academic grit is a positive predictor of innovative skills and vice versa. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a junior high school in Manila. The participants were 80 eighth graders enrolled during the SY 2020-2021. The pretest and posttest were the 15-item open-ended Innovative Skills Test (IST) and the 10-item Academic Grit Scale (AGS). Moreover, there were three statistical treatments used: First, a two-tailed independent samples t-test for the pretest of IST and AGS of the two groups. Second, a one-tailed independent samples t-test for the posttest of IST and AGS. Lastly, a simple linear regression to find out if innovative skills positively predict academic grit and vice versa. The findings revealed that students under BDTP have significantly better innovative skills and academic grit. The linear equation for the regression showed that academic grit could significantly and positively predict innovative skills and vice versa. Based on these results, the researcher concludes that BDTP can foster innovative skills and academic grit in students and therefore merits further study. |
