THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATED USE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND VIDEO FILMS IN TEACHING SCHOOL BIOLOGY

In modern biology education, the integration of digital tools, such as computer programs and video films, enhances student engagement and comprehension. This study examines the effectiveness of multimedia-based teaching methods in secondary school biology classes. The research was conducted in two groups: an experimental group using digital tools and a control group following traditional methods. A pre-test and post-test were administered to assess student progress. The results indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group (30% increase) compared to the control group (12% increase), demonstrating the advantages of digital resources in teaching complex biological concepts. The findings align with Mayer’s Multimedia Learning Theory, which emphasizes the cognitive benefits of combining verbal and visual information. Additionally, Jonassen’s Constructivist Learning Approach supports the use of problem-based digital environments to foster deeper understanding. The study also considers the implications of Kazakhstan’s State Program for the Development of Education and Science (2020-2025), which advocates for the integration of digital technologies in education. The results suggest that multimedia-based instruction should be further implemented in biology curricula to enhance student performance and engagement.
