The modern education system regards ensuring the active participation of students in learning biology as one of the primary methodological priorities. This article provides a scientific substantiation of the effectiveness of using innovative teaching tools in biology classes. The research was conducted based on the theories of constructivism and active learning, as well as learner-centered and competency-based approaches. Innovative teaching tools include electronic educational platforms, virtual laboratories, interactive tasks, STEM and STEAM projects, mobile applications, online tests, 3D models, multimedia videos, digital maps, and gamification elements.The study found that the systematic implementation of innovative technologies in biology education has a significant positive impact on the learning process. Specifically, students' interest in the subject increased, and their cognitive activity, research skills, information literacy, and thinking operations (analysis, comparison, synthesis, generalization) developed rapidly. Furthermore, the use of interactive methods facilitates the improvement of students' abilities in both group and individual work, communication skills, and self-directed learning strategies. The article demonstrates the scientific and methodological importance of the integrated use of innovative tools in teaching biology to enhance the quality of education. From this perspective, innovative methods are particularly relevant in forming 21st-century skills in learners.
