METHODOLOGICAL INSTRUCTONS FOR SOLVING BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN GENETICS

Abstract

One of the standard requirements in biology is the development of students' abilities to solve multilevel qualitative and quantitative problems on program topics. Many years of experience have shown that one of the most difficult issues for many students and teachers is the organization and conduct of effective problems solving training. One of the objective reasons for this problem is the discrepancy between the number of hours allotted for practical exercises on problem solving. Another important reason is the lack of uniform principles of problems solving methodology. This paper presents a methodology for organizing and conducting practical classes of university courses "Methods for Solving Problems in Biology" and "Practice for Solving Problems in Biology". It has been tested in teacher training universities and teacher training courses. The effectiveness indicators of the proposed methodology include 1) improving the skills and abilities of students, which is expressed in effective scores by the end of the course, 2) the effectiveness of teaching students to solve problems during teaching practice in secondary schools, 3) the proposed methodology is also successfully used in professional activities by those teachers who studied this methodology in advanced training courses. This paper proposes methodological approaches to solving biological problems from the sections "Population Genetics" and "Non-Field Dominance" of genetics.
