Methodological Aspects Of The Organization Of Individual And Group Education In Biology Lessons

The aim. The aim of the article is to substantiate the effectiveness of individual-group learning in biology lessons; to present the author's game model “Biology Vision”; to reveal the specifics of its application in the educational process of school to stimulate students' motivation to study the subject of biology.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the basic provisions of system, activity and personality-oriented approaches, which are combined on the basis of the principle of complementarity. The study used theoretical methods (content analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, comparison, generalization, systematization); empirical methods (system analysis of the author's pedagogical experience); mathematical processing of the obtained data.

Results. The progressive direction of transformation of the educational process is the organization of individual-group cognitive activity of students, which contributes to the growth of efficiency of knowledge assimilation by schoolchildren due to the competent collaboration of individual and group approaches. Expansion of the potential of individual-group learning is promoted by the use of gamification, which should provide an increase in the level of schoolchildren's involvement in learning activities and the formation of effective interest in the intensity of solving current problems.

Research implication. Theoretical significance of the work consists in clarification of methodical aspects of using individual-group learning, as well as the use of gamification to increase its effectiveness by increasing the involvement of students in the process of learning biology. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the conclusions drawn and the results of the authors' own pedagogical experience generalized by the authors can be applied to improve the methodology of teaching biology at secondary school.

Conclusions. The individual-group form of teaching has a number of features that distinguish it from other approaches to organizing the provision of educational content to students, which in turn forms advantages that ensure the growth of the effectiveness of learning the subject. The article reflects the results of the author's pedagogical experience related to the use of individual-group learning in biology lessons at the A. S. Pushkin municipal budgetary educational institution secondary educational school with advanced study of individual subjects No. 7 in Kursk. Taking into account the pedagogical vision the author's variant of gamification of biology teaching in the format of the game model “Biology Vision”, which contributes to the growth of assimilation of the necessary educational content, is presented.
