• This research aims to find out whether the use of radio-directed movement tasks enhances middle and high school students’ history knowledge, interest, critical thinking abilities, participation rate, and teamwork skills in group projects when implemented in classroom teaching. This study was done in three stages and employed a cross-sectional quantitative survey design. Questionnaires used in this study were developed by the researcher and data were analyzed using the SPSS. The results confirmed that the executed movement tasks, directed by radio, have a positive influence on the level of historical knowledge, the student’s interest in history, and their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Students’ collaboration, participation, and communication skills were also observed to have greatly benefited through the implementation of that task. The results suggests that incorporating movement tasks that are directed by the radio can increase learners’ interest and as a result, increase their performance in history lessons.
