Scientific research as an important aspect of natural science education

Abstract

Modern higher education makes high requirements on the level of students’ training, which requires a fundamentally new approach to learning. Students’ research work of higher educational institutions is a promising activity that can realize the full personal development of students, reveal their creative potential and individual resources. The organization of research activities will allow to conduct meaningful laboratory and practical classes in an interactive mode, when students develop research, communication and reflexive skills. A competent method of organizing research activities will significantly improve the effectiveness of classroom activities, maintain a high degree of interest and cognitive activity of students, and the use of research training technologies when considering issues of biodiversity will make it possible to identify the essence of the studied processes and ensure professional and personal growth of students. The importance of scientific research in natural science education was evoked. Main directions of the student’s research activity on the base creation for carabidological observations and ecological control are considered. Data received are the case of interest not only for comparative analysis of carabid beetles communities zone changes but also for clarification of carabidofauna spacing under the condition of anthropogenic transformation in the Central part of Russia. The presented information can be used as additional material by teachers of higher and secondary educational organizations and by biology teachers. To arrange the students’ research activity instructional guidelines were worked out which help to form research competence and put into practice research approach in higher education.

Consideration of features in the content of various games in the organization of extracurricular activities in biology

“…The development of students´ creativity in biology lessons was carried out in practice classes, practice practices, solving problems, compiling Tabular explanations of plants and animals, performing exercises, performing control and verification work, working with textbooks, reference books and various additional literature, writing and writing reports of practice work, processing cognitive materials. For the lesson, V. M. Monakhov´s design technology, critical thinking, level learning technology, problembased learning technology, modular learning technology, and cross-reference technology were studied through the continuity of methods [10].…”

“…This is due to the fact that different researchers, methodologists, teachers used different approaches and principles when developing the classification of methods [3; 4]. Thus, one based the classification of methods on the structure and functions of methods, others -various forms of independent cognition, the third classify according to didactic tasks, the fourth -according to the degree of independence, the fifth -according to the sources of information and the nature of the activities of teachers and students, the sixth -according to the nature of the logical approach [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Formation of Research Skills of Future Biology Teachers through Practical Classes in Biotechnology

“…Көптеген өсімдіктердің жапырақтары азоттың болуына байланысты өсетіндігі дәлелденген. Ағаштардың өсуі 20°С-қа дейінгі температурада жақсы жүреді, тіпті 1 ай ішінде бұтақ әжептеуір халге жетеді [11].…”

A Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method on the Construction of High-Level Universities Based on Data from Jiangsu Province

“…In constructing high-level universities in Jiangsu, scientific research has gradually developed into a function that distinguishes universities from daily teaching [26,27]. In this context, a scientific teacher-student ratio can provide solid faculty support for students [28].…”
