Methodology For Solving Heuristic Problems And Exercises In Biology Teaching

Abstract

This article describes heuristic problems and exercises related to the field of biology, along with their types and solution methodologies. The significance of teaching biology in general secondary schools and its role in scientific and technological advancement is highlighted. The article provides information about the works of well-known scientists in the field of heuristic problem research, including Herbert A. Simon, John Holland, and others. It mentions the names of scholars who have contributed to the development of heuristic problems and methods in pedagogy. The essence of the heuristic approach is emphasized, and methods aimed at enhancing students' independent thinking abilities in the educational process are introduced, including the method of targeted problems, heuristic conversations, and techniques for posing and solving problems. Approaches by M.S. Modestov inspired by G.S. Altshuller's theory are presented as examples. The article is supplemented with knowledge that can be used in studying the theoretical and practical aspects of working with heuristic problems in biology education.
