FORMATION OF RESEARCH COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE BIOLOGY TEACHERS THROUGH FIELD TRAINING PRACTICE

Abstract

Today, much attention is paid to school education and improving the education system as a whole. One of the key competencies is research competencies that are formed in the process of undergoing field training and laboratory work, preparing scientific publications and reports for seminars, conferences and symposia. Also, research competencies are an indicator of the competitiveness of future biology teachers and a guarantee that the teacher will be able to engage not only in teaching the subject but also engage in design and research work with students, pedagogical research and make scientific publications to improve their level of qualifications. The purpose of this work is to study the formation of research competencies of future biology teachers through educational and field practice of second-year students in invertebrate zoology during the summer. The scientific significance of this work is the study of methods and forms used during summer field training by students majoring in biology and evaluation of the effectiveness of these methods. The work is valuable for methodologists at higher educational institutions, students, undergraduates and doctoral students studying methods of teaching biology, the formation of research competencies and education in general. The results of this work were used in the preparation of work curricula for field training for biology students and the selection of forms and methods for conducting field training.
