Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aimed to explore the experience of designing innovative mobile learning for environmental education among secondary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was a qualitative study that collected data through in-depth interview. The target group for the research comprised secondary school teachers participating in the Clean Energy Teachers for Change Project, totaling 10 individuals. The research spanned from January to July 2023. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The research results revealed two main themes regarding teachers' experiences in designing mobile learning innovation. The first one was experiences prior to designing innovative learning media; teachers selected content for the learning innovation design based on local environmental issues and chose to develop it as mobile learning due to its suitability for students' current lifestyles. The second one was experiences during the development of innovative media; It was found that interpersonal interactions and work atmosphere helped inspire teachers in their work. The findings underscore the significant contributions of design thinking and Professional Learning Community (PLC) engagement to the success of innovative learning designs for teachers.
