The paper deals with one of the most important issues - educational and methodical support of basic vocational education program 44.03.05 Pedagogical education with two majors (bachelor level). The basic component of this support is an educational and methodological complex of the discipline. Particular attention is paid to the structure and content of the educational and methodical complex of the discipline Methods of Biology Teaching for students majoring in Biology and Geography. The author reveals methodological approaches of its design as well as the possibilities of its use for prospective Biology teachers training according to the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. The components of the educational-methodical complex are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the design and development of the curriculum of the discipline as a key component of the teaching and methodological complex. The author describes many years experience of the use of teaching and methodological complex for pedagogical education bachelors professional competencies development. The main forms of work are presented in detail and the technologies used for organizing the educational process at the course are disclosed. The presented materials can be used by university teachers while teaching the course Methods of Biology Teaching.

Descriptive Method

Research studies aimed at finding a more efficient model of teaching biology are still sporadic and inconsistent in the contemporary literature. The main aim of the research was to examine the correlation between the application of teaching strategies in biology teaching and students' school achievements, depending on how much the teacher respects their learning styles. The method of theoretical analysis and descriptive method were applied in the research. The sample consisted of 151 third-grade students (39.7% male and 60.3% female) of upper-secondary school. Kolb’s Inventory of Learning Styles and Questionnaire for Assessing the Teaching Strategies of Biology Teachers were used as data gathering tools. Independent t-test, χ2 - square test, and One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze data. The results showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between teaching strategies, learning styles, and students' school achievement in biology learning. At the same time, students perceived the applied teaching strategies differently, and manifested different dimensions of learning styles. This was followed by the conclusion that students achieved better school achievements in biology teaching when they were taught in the ways that corresponded to their learning styles, which pointed to certain implications for inquiry-based teaching, as well as in education of future biology teachers.

Electronic Spreadsheet

The main hypothesis of this study was that secondary school biology teachers who had persevered in the use of optional spreadsheet assisted activities were those who believed that 1) their rationale is sound; 2) the use of the spreadsheet does not impose any unnecessary extrinsic “cognitive load” on the students; 3) the administration of the school encourages the teachers to use of the spreadsheet; and 4) the administration expresses encouragement by providing some minimal conditions, some facilities which are essential to make the use of the spreadsheet efficient or possible at all. The picture of the persevering teachers which emerges from this study is somewhat different: they joined because of their personal interest, remained because of their individual perception of the contribution of the activities to their students, and persevered in spite of the perceived difficulties and of the lack of some facilities, without attributing their difficulties to the behavior of the administration.

Service Activity

Potensi lokal Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Selatan dapat dijadikan  sumber belajar, dan sebagai bahan ajar Biologi sehingga pembelajaran kontekstual menjadi lebih bermakna. Keterbatasan bahan ajar berbasis potensi lokal dan pengetahuan guru yang tergabung dalam MGMP IPA-Biologi se Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Selatan dalam membuatan bahan ajar perlu mendapatkan bimbingan. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk memberi bekal dan bimbingan kepada guru-guru IPA-Biologi dalam mengembangkan bahan ajar berbasis potensi lokal. Pelaksanaan kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini  menggunakan metode ceramah, diskusi, workshop dan konsultasi secara daring, yang diikuti oleh sebanyak 38 orang. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa para guru sangat antusias mengikuti kegiatan ini, terlihat dari diskusi dan tanya jawab yang berlangsung sangat dinamis. Banyak peserta yang mengemukakan potensi lokal daerah mereka, dan meminta saran tentang bahan ajar apa yang harus dan baik mereka kembangkan. Berdasarkan data akhir terdapat lebih dari setengah total peserta yaitu 22 orang guru dari 38 orang (58%) yang format pengembangan bahan ajar Biologi, dan masih terus bertambah. Hal ini menunjukkan guru IPA-Biologi mempunyai motivasi yang cukup tinggi untuk membuat bahan ajar Biologi berbasis potensi lokal. The local potential of Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency can be used as a learning resource and as biology teaching material so that contextual learning becomes more meaningful. The limitations of teaching materials based on local potential and the knowledge of teachers who are members of the IPA-Biology MGMP in Hulu Sungai Selatan District in making teaching materials need guidance. This community service activity aims to provide provisions and guidance to Science-Biology teachers in developing teaching materials based on local potential. The implementation of this Community Service activity used lectures, discussions, workshops and online consultations, which 38 people attended. The activity results showed that the teachers were very enthusiastic about participating in this activity; it was seen from the dynamic discussion and question and answer process. Many participants raised the local potential of their area and asked for suggestions on what teaching materials they should and should develop well. Based on the final data, more than half of the total participants, namely 22 teachers out of 38 people (58%), have the format for developing Biology teaching materials, and it is still growing. This shows that Science-Biology teachers have high enough motivation to make Biology teaching materials based on local potential.

AbstractA successful application of scientific research in science education requires adequate professional training of teachers. The study presents the results of research focused on the level of scientific inquiry skills of future biology teachers. The results showed that students with a success rate of over 80 % solved tasks focused on applying numerical methods, determining relationships between variables and evaluating the uses and misuses of scientific information with a more than 80 % success rate. On the other side, the students had considerable problems associated with planning and implementing of the experiment. The results indicated that there is no significant difference in the level of scientific inquiry skills between students who study biology teaching in combination with other science subject, and students who study biology teaching in combination with a non-science subject.
