Value approach in the process of educational activity (teaching biology)

Naidan Alexey N.

With regard to the teaching of biology, the fifth grade is a special case, since the continuity with the previous academic year is less pronounced than all other subjects. The directions of increasing interest in the content and cognitive side of the subject, considered in the literature, pay little attention. This determined the direction of our pedagogical experiment, which consisted in each student completing mini-projects about plants in the Red Book of Russia. The results of the experiment indicate an increase in interest in the subject (the cognitive component), as well as the formation of an aesthetic and value approach to nature.
