THE USE OF VISUAL AIDS IN TEACHING BIOLOGY TO DEVELOP STUDENTS' CRITICAL THINKING

Abstract

The article focuses more on the development of methods that contribute to the development
of creative abilities of students in the modern education system, especially in the context of subjects
of the natural science cycle. Biology lessons are a favorable environment for the development of
creative thinking and abilities, since the discipline itself is dynamic, interesting and multifaceted.
Any scientific information passes through perception, and then passes to the level of ideas and
concepts, and the end result of this process is the assimilation of knowledge. One of the important
factors influencing the way of learning educational material in biology lessons is visibility. There
are many visual materials for biology lessons in high school. For example, herbarium material,
collections of plants and animals, wet and dry preparations, bones and skeletons of vertebrates,
their individual parts, tables, models.
