Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines the impact of field research on the formation of practical skills of biology students, based on the global experience of Turkey, the USA, Germany, Kazakhstan and other countries, analyzing the methods and approaches used, as well as evaluating the results of their implementation in the educational process. Because field research is an integral part of the training of biology students, contributing to the development of their practical skills, research thinking and professional competence. In world practice, there are many approaches to organizing and conducting field research based on the specifics of educational systems in different countries, natural features and the level of technological development. The purpose of this article is to compare the experience of using field research in Kazakhstan, Turkey and other countries, as well as to identify common trends and differences in the methodology of their organization. For this purpose, the structures of educational programs, research methods, their impact on the formation of professional skills and the level of preparedness of graduates are considered. The results of the study show that the use of project-based learning during field research contributes to a deeper assimilation of the material, the development of independence and research skills among students. Interdisciplinary projects are widely used in countries with a high level of technological development, in which students solve real environmental and biological problems. At the same time, traditional methods of data collection and processing remain in regions with limited resources, but the project approach is gradually being introduced there. In conclusion, it is noted that combining field work with project-based training is the most effective method of training future biologists, ensuring their competence in modern science and the practical application of knowledge.
