Peculiarities of Teaching Biology in Universities under Conditions of Digitalization

Abstract

Currently, all areas of society are moving toward the mass use of information systems and technologies. Many countries are introducing information systems into the educational process. Every modern
teacher should be fluent in information technology. In this way, it helps to increase student motivation
for the class. Changing the system of relations between the teacher and the student, the content, the
structure of their activities, they affect their motivational emotional environment. The use of information
and technological means allows you to turn the biology lesson into a fascinating and productive lesson.
The article considers effective methods of using electronic educational resources and capabilities of
educational platforms in the conditions of transition to distance learning in accordance with the requirements of the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”. It is emphasized that when teaching students, it is important to use effective modern methods and techniques, as well as visual and auditory elements instead
of methods and approaches that make students dependent on the textbook and limit them to what the
teacher teaches. The effectiveness of using videos in biology classes was studied. Student performance
results are given on the research paper. In particular, the use of video materials during classes allows
students to convey the necessary information as accurately as possible, and students, due to their modern capabilities and features, better absorb the material in this way. The results of questionnaires from
different regions on the effectiveness of videos were discussed and analyzed. Thus, the study revealed
the necessity of using videos in biology lessons to facilitate students’ learning and their effectiveness in
the learning process.
Key words: information technology, methods, videos, experimental, control, performance,
creativity.
