The Importance of Using Interactive Educational Resources in Teaching Topics Related to Complex Biological Processes in “Biotechnology”

Abstract

Biotechnology, as a modern science, encompasses knowledge based on complex biological processes in its content. Delivering this knowledge to students in an understandable and simple way can lead to the effective formation of scientific concepts in them. In order to increase the level of students’ knowledge in the sciences, the scope of using various methods and tools to explain the content of educational materials in detail and convey them to students is expanding. Among these methods, methodologies related to the use of interactive educational resources occupy a special place. The research work is aimed at assessing the impact of the use of interactive educational resources prepared by visualizing educational materials in higher educational institutions in the subject “Biotechnology” on students’ academic performance. The results of experiments conducted in experimental and control groups provided important information for assessing the educational effectiveness of the intervention of interactive educational resources prepared by visualizing educational materials. The statistically significant difference between the two groups confirms that the studied method had a positive effect on the formation of knowledge of complex biotechnological concepts in the experimental groups of students. The extensive use of interactive educational resources in educational activities helps students to study the relevant topic in more depth and increases their enthusiasm for studying the topics.
