The objective of this paper is to determine the influence of smartphone usage among secondary school students. The sample size of the study was 150 students. The findings showed that smartphone usage increases compassionate teaching with significant student engagement through the enhancement of the learner's cognitive capacity, motivation to study in both formal and informal settings, autonomy and confidence, as well as the promotion of personalized learning in helping low-achieving students to reach their academic performance goals. The implications verified that implementing smartphone usage in the classroom will result in an effective and proper process in the learning environment.Keywords: Humanizing technology; Smartphone Usage; Learning Environment; Student EngagementeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
