Abstract: Until now, most of the Filipino students learn the concepts in frog anatomy through the traditional method. Needs assessment was done and students gave negative feedback with regard to the traditional frog dissection method. One of the students said, “Knowing that frogs have their own lives, they should not be captured and dissected for educational purposes.” Ethical issues in terms of using frogs for dissection- sacrificing frogs’ lives for the sake of grades, shall be addressed through the development of the Talapang AR/VR frog dissection Software. According to the results of the study, it was identified that there was an increase in the scores of the students from pretest to post-test. The significant differences in the test scores among the Mo, AVi, and AVg groups and the significant differences between the intrinsic motivation levels of the students indicate that the Talapang software may be an effective tool in enhancing students’ academic achievement as well as motivation. There are also positive feedback with regards to the software like, “I feel so great to use such advanced technology. I feel happy to experience the AR/VR software.”
