Data confidence 85 high
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.

This article will outline results of biology teaching in the school using different methods for the period of all 4 quarters (one academic year). Also, typical problems, obstacles that arise during the training of biology in English at the Kazakh schools are touched upon. At the end of the article, several suggestions are proposed for improving the quality of biology teaching in English.
