IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY OF USING STEAM TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING THE SECTION "GENETICS AND SELECTION IN BIOLOGY" (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF GRADE 9)

Аннотация

This dissertation examines the methods of effective use of STEAM technology in teaching the section "Genetics and selection" in biology in the 9th grade of comprehensive secondary schools. The dissertation interprets the main concepts of genetics - heredity, variability, genetic laws and methods of selection - in an integrated approach with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) components. Methodological approaches, project developments, laboratory experiments and the possibilities of using mathematical models aimed at developing students' skills of critical thinking, observation and experimental analysis are described. Ways to achieve interdisciplinary integration through the introduction of innovative educational tools into the lesson process will also be considered. The dissertation contains methodological recommendations for biology teachers who want to introduce the STEAM approach into their pedagogical activities.
