Integrative education as the basis for students� worldview knowledge in the process of teaching biology in high school

Relevance. The research relevance is predefined by the continuously developing system of integrative education, which puts forward new requirements for the process of teaching biology in high schools as the basis for the formation of students� worldview knowledge.Purpose. The research aims to conduct a theoretical and practical justification of the methodology of the formation of the worldview knowledge of students in the process of teaching biology in high school.Methodology. The primary research method is a pedagogical experiment, which allows a comprehensive consideration of all the contradictions in the research problem and improves the effectiveness of the process of teaching biology in high school. For this purpose, the auxiliary methods of mathematical statistics and graphical representation of the results of student achievement in the subject �biology� were used.Results. During empirical research, interviews and questionnaires with the participants of the experiment were also conducted, during which the interests of students in the subjects were determined. The worldview component in the content of school education, especially in biology classes, was identified, principles justified, stages of the process of formation of students� worldview knowledge identified and implemented. This led to the inclusionary approach in which forms and methods of integrative education, which promote the development of worldview skills of young people could be quantified and disclosed.Conclusions. Research materials are of practical value for graduate students of higher pedagogical educational institutions, and teachers of secondary general educational institutions which implement integrative education in their teaching activities in high schools. Thus, the purpose of education is not just the regurgitated transfer of knowledge in biology, but the preparation and adaptation of students to the new conditions of society.
