PROJECT ACTIVITY AS A MEANS OF FORMING COGNITIVE INTEREST IN BIOLOGY LESSONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the use by teachers and the perception of students of the method of project learning in the study of biology in the 7th grade. The modern education system requires the teacher to use new approaches to covering a large amount of information. Students must have completely different skills: to think, understand the essence of things, make sense of ideas and concepts, and already on the basis of this, be able to search for the necessary information, analyze it and apply it in specific conditions, formulate and defend their opinion. Project technologies are used in the educational process to successfully achieve this goal. The scientific analysis of psychological and pedagogical studies of project-based learning and the project method made it possible to draw a conclusion about the importance of using the project method, which provides intellectual and creative development of the individual.
