This article discusses the work on improving the research skills of biology students in higher education through laboratory classes. In the Botanical Garden of Khoja Akhmet Yasawi International Kazakh-Turkish University for 3rd year biology students, developed a theoretical justification for determining the ecobiological characteristics of apple varieties using the selection method and found application in the educational process. As a result of the conducted research, it was recognized as the optimal method of vegetative propagation of apple varieties in laboratory conditions. In this direction, the students selected (allocated to toptoar) for research work were offered theoretical knowledge, after which a survey was conducted in order to refine it. If the assimilation of knowledge was 65%, then in the repeated survey at the end of the work it is clear that each of the two groups participating in the research work increased the varieties they selected by 20% and amounted to 85%. Each of the two groups involved in the research carried out their chosen practical tasks and conducted an analysis. The results of the study showed that the students found that vaccination has a positive effect on a good harvest of seedlings, and developed research skills. In the process of forming a research skill, in most cases, research in the process of practical work with activity research had a great influence. Research work in the course of laboratory work, the sequence of application to 3 practical works was considered, and information was also provided on the positive impact of laboratory work on the quality of teaching the discipline biotechnology. In accordance with the requirements of modern globalization, the possibility of preliminary preparation of students' practical abilities for a specific laboratory using STEM technology was considered.
