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

The article is devoted to the study of innovative approaches to the development of practical competencies of future biology teachers. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to equip students at pedagogical universitieswith the skills necessary for the successful implementation of modern educational standards and the effective teaching of biology. The study analyzed various teaching methods and technologies that contribute to the development of practical competencies, including project-based learning, the use of information technologies in the educational process, the introduction of research-oriented teaching methods, as well as the application of multimedia and interactive tools, virtual laboratories and augmented reality (AR) technologies.The research methods included questionnaires, testing practical skills, observation, and statistical analysis. The results demonstrated that the integration of innovative technologies into the training of future biology teachers increased the level of their practical competencies by 20-30%. The most significant progress was recorded in teamwork skills and the ability to conduct experiments. Furthermore, the use of project-based assignments contributed to the development of critical thinking, independence, and a creative approach among students.The implementation of such approaches made it possible to substantially improve the level of independent work of future teachers and to prepare them for the application of innovative teaching methods in real educational settings. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the importance of further advancing innovative teaching methods in teacher education with a focus on practice-oriented mastery of disciplines and provides recommendations for improving curricula and pedagogical technologies in the context of training future biology teachers.
