PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF APPLYING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING ZOOLOGY

Abstract

This article highlights the pedagogical, psychological, and methodological

foundations of applying project-based learning technologies in teaching zoology. Project-based

activities help students develop skills of independent thinking, analysis, scientific inquiry, and

teamwork. Furthermore, this technology enhances teachers’ professional competence, enables the

organization of the learning process on an innovative basis, and increases students’ interest in the

study of zoology.
