NTRODUCTION
In the teaching of natural sciences, significant
practical efforts have been undertaken to
introduce electronic resources and achieve
effective learning outcomes. For instance,
educational games organized in collaboration,
discussion-based lessons, shows, evening events,
celebrations, and similar activities in natural
science classes contribute to improving the
quality indicators of the learning process. Many
tasks associated with these activities
—
such as
demonstrating visual materials effectively,
encouraging motivation, self-assessment and
monitoring, efficient use of internet resources,
updating and modifying information, and so on
—
necessitate an increased reliance on computers to
accomplish these objectives promptly and
effectively.
In biology lessons, students develop knowledge
and skills about the animal world, their
distribution,
lifestyles,
similarities
and
differences,
diversity,
reproduction,
and
development. Teachers aim to use various
didactic tools and materials during lessons to help
students quickly and easily comprehend
theoretical information related to the topic. As
noted above, teaching tools for 7th-grade biology
vary in their specific features. These teaching
tools are not only useful in the classroom but also
play
a
significant
role
in
organizing
extracurricular and out-of-class activities.
In biology (zoology), such groups of didactic tools
include textbooks, methodological guides,
illustrated charts, tables, microscopes, animal
specimens, didactic tests, crossword puzzles, and
similar items. During a one-hour lesson, teachers
aim to develop students’ skills and competencies
regarding the topic using these tools, thereby
facilitating the acquisition of knowledge on the
subject.
The use of multimedia tools in biology lessons
introduces a unique method into the educational
process. Through this method, biology (zoology)
topics
are
computerized
systematically,
animations are utilized to study the internal
structure of animals, and systematic units of
animals are explored. The inclusion of visual aids,
presentation clips, and other multimedia
materials naturally enhances the quality of visual
elements in lessons and allows for quick
monitoring of students' knowledge and skills.
Furthermore, this approach enables teachers to
organize their activities based on new methods
and techniques.
For many subjects in general secondary schools,
multimedia tools have been developed, leading to
an increased focus on organizing the educational

process in a computerized environment.
Educational software tools now encompass many
subjects. Based on this model, multimedia tools
serve as an essential resource for teaching 7th-
grade biology in general secondary schools. This
model enables the use of electronic educational
tools in biology systematically and sequentially.
Working with electronic textbooks provides
significant convenience for students. These
resources include instructions and tasks that
guide and systematize students’ activities,
offering immediate feedback on the correctness
or incorrectness of their actions. To ensure
retention, teachers provide recommendations for
mastering various information and continuously
monitor and support the development of
memory. Working with electronic textbooks or
manuals also fosters students’ self
-monitoring
skills.

categorizes
pedagogical technologies into eight types,
explicitly identifying "computer-based learning"
as one of them. Similarly, pre-prepared
"programmed learning" based on projects is also
noted. In the classification of technological
education presented by F.Ya. Savelyev, six types
are distinguished, with specific emphasis on the
use of technical tools, including audiovisual
equipment, video technology, and computer
technologies. The integration of pedagogical
technology into the educational system, along
with the use of computer technologies, has
influenced their role and importance in the
learning process.
Considering that the initial topics in natural
sciences that students study are related to
invertebrates, the effective use of the
aforementioned multimedia tools plays a
significant role in shaping and developing their
knowledge and skills. This has led many
pedagogical
practitioners
to
recognize
multimedia programs as a means of
comprehending the world. The development and
active use of multimedia tools have sparked
discussions about the introduction of innovative
teaching methods, ideas, and approaches in
schools.
The interactive software tool developed by G.
Ergashyeva
focuses
on
developing
the
professional competencies required by future
biology teachers. It emphasizes the use of modern
educational technology elements such as web
quests and software-based tests hosted on
portals. Utilizing the materials available on these
sites expands the interactive approach in biology
lessons.
Additionally, within the framework of research
conducted by M. Ibodova, the use of information
resources in organizing students' independent
work has been studied. This electronic resource
incorporates software designed to encourage
individual activities in academic lyceum students
during lessons, independent learning, and
laboratory exercises, helping them acquire
biological knowledge and skills.
The integration of computer technology in
natural science lessons largely depends on the
te
acher’s initiative and organizational skills. Each

teaching material used in the lesson should
contribute to the student’s understanding of the
topic. The demand for using multimedia tools in
educational processes is steadily increasing.
Multimedia tools not only aid in quickly and easily
comprehending topics studied with the help of
computers but also provide teachers with
numerous opportunities.
When using multimedia tools, students can study
animal sounds, natural movements, distinctive
features, and skeletal and muscular structures
programmed with hyperlinks. (The proportional
placement of images with numbered labels helps
students easily grasp and remember complex
terms.)
The significant features of multimedia in the
educational process include:
•
Visual presentation of information
(using various colors, illustrations, sounds,
videos, animations, and other elements);
•
Immediate feedback
(established test
systems provide quick monitoring of material
comprehension);
•
Interactive format
(teaches students self-
monitoring while quickly mastering educational
materials);
•
Continuous updating and enriching of
educational manuals
(replacing outdated
information in electronic manuals with new data
or modifying it ensures future clarity for users).
The use of electronic resources in teaching
natural sciences ensures effective solutions to
educational and pedagogical tasks:
1.
Conveying complex knowledge, such as
studying processes occurring in an organism's
external and internal environment through
monitors when direct observation is impossible;
2.
Organizing the study of organ placement
and functions in animal organisms through
specific methods;
3.
Supplementing
topics
on
animals'
lifestyles, distribution in nature, reproduction,
development, and diversity with scientific and
popular films in CD and DVD formats, helping
instill educational concepts about the importance
of protecting and preserving nature;
4.
Developing
students’
independent
learning skills.
In M. Lutfullayev's research on the use of
computer technology elements in teaching
natural sciences, particular attention is given to
organizing biological processes based on
animated models. His experimental work
demonstrates the possibility of organizing
complex biological processes in biology (zoology)
and plant physiology using computer tools to
expand the scope of topics.
For example, in natural sciences, processes such
as animals’ movement (crawlin
g, walking,
swimming, flying, and landing), feeding and
associated organs, and their living conditions
(e.g., in mountains, water, land, hot and cold

regions) are demonstrated to students in
multimedia format, facilitating the quick and easy
comprehension of new topics. This allows
students to perceive processes as if they were
directly involved. Multimedia tools stand out
from traditional didactic materials by offering the
ability to repeatedly view objects.
For studying topics in the natural sciences
curriculum in general secondary schools,
materials are recommended, including images of
origin and embryonic development, main types of
animals, skeletal structures of mammals,
collections of stuffed specimens, slides of
domestic animal breeds, and video clips on the
lives of wild mammals.
The use of multimedia tools in natural science
lessons introduces a new method characterized
by the technological implementation of
educational materials, a step-by-step increase in
the database of educational content, and high-
quality visual representation. Additionally,
students’ knowledge on new topics is monitored
during the lesson.
When using presentation programs to enhance
the effectiveness of natural sciences in general
secondary schools, it is essential to note an
additional key aspect. Natural sciences contain
topics that are difficult to comprehend, and it
would be incorrect to assume that every student
in a classroom can understand them easily at the
same time. Considering students’ psychological
characteristics, the comprehension of topics
relies on the effective use of differentiated
teaching methods.
As highlighted above, the teaching of natural
sciences, the formation of students’ knowledge
and skills, and the enhancement of lesson
effectiveness and teacher-student activity rely on
the use of these tools.
