Abstract

The main difference between the new standards is their reliance on the active component of the educational content, which defines novelty and modernity. Currently, the educational coverage of students is carried out under the guidance of a teacher, including active activities. Partial search activity of students, which can be implemented in the form of problem-based learning and laboratory classes with the participation of a teacher during seminars; independent research under the guidance of a teacher during writing when conducting research in scientific circles and industrial laboratories; writing term papers and graduation projects. Diptera are major contributors to the maintenance of plant diversity through their participation in pollination systems and networks. Diptera are rich in species with specific microhabitat or breeding-site requirements, conferring a high potential for habitat-quality assessment and conservation planning. As expected for a ubiquitous group with diverse habits and habitats, the Diptera are of considerable economic importance. Pestiferous groups can have significant effects on agriculture, animal and human health, and forestry. Other groups can be a general nuisance when present in high numbers or because of allergic reactions to detached body setae. Despite these negative effects, flies have a valuable role as scavengers, parasitoids and predators of other insects, pollinators, food for predators, bioindicators of water quality, and tools for scientific research.
