Development of research skills of secondary school students in the organisation of independent local history work in biology

Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of the research is conditioned upon the active use of personal experience of students in the implementation of the process of teaching local history work in biology lessons, based on the development of methods of research activity in a secondary school. Purpose. The value of scientific knowledge, the need to increase the role of science in the education of schoolchildren are associated with the need to achieve cognitive independence of the individual and the organisation of a personality-oriented learning system. Methodology. There is a fact that the methodology of teaching biology, to date, does not sufficiently reflect the ways of developing research skills in the independent local history work of students. It is also necessary to develop a scientific and methodological approach to the development of research skills and skills acquired in biology lessons. This article describes an experiment in which a survey of biology teachers of grades 5-7 was carried out using a questionnaire. Among the theoretical research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of historical and cultural, psychological and pedagogical, methodological literature, abstraction and generalisation, study of normative documents on the problem of research. Results. The results of the experiment in this article showed that for this the teacher needs free time, where he will be able to independently solve the issues of interest to him for creative development. Such a process of introducing new educational standards into the education system is of particular relevance for the development of students' research skills in organising independent local history work in biology, which in turn requires teachers to have a high level of training.
