The emerging of artificial intelligence (AI) in education tools creates a new phenomenon in the teaching and learning strategies with propositional of students learning and engagement. This concept paper will become a baseline for the research to investigate how the use of AI for concept mapping will affect students’ understanding of biological concepts, which are in the topic of Cellular Respiration, and their motivation to learn. Biology is one of the conceptual-based subjects that requires students to connect the facts being learned. With the use of AI tools, this intervention aims to help teachers change the traditional class setting into active learning methodologies, in which teacher act as facilitators in promoting students to develop their digital concept maps. This study will employ a quasi-experimental, quantitative pre and post-test methodology to access the relationship between the use of AI-based concept mapping and changes in motivation and learning achievement using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and test performance. From the study, it is expected that the use of AI for concept mapping will result in improved academic performance and student motivations. These findings could inform teachers and educational policymakers about the best practices of instructional strategies to enhance students motivation and achievement in biology education. Hence, this intervention hopes it will improve students understanding of the concepts in biology and Cellular Respiration specifically and give them the ability to apply the knowledge in their educational journey and in life.
