THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MAIN PERCEPTION CHANNEL OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THE USE OF VISUAL GRAPHICS IN THE STUDY OF GENERAL BIOLOGY COURSE

This article reflects the main results of a study on the relationship between the use of visual graphics and the main channel of perception by high school students in general biology classes. In the context of modern education, where visual materials play an increasingly significant role, the use of visual graphics becomes an integral part of effective learning of biological concepts and processes. Visual graphics provide visual images that help students better understand and remember complex biological concepts such as “life cycles of organisms”, “cell structures”, “ecosystems”, and “genetic processes”. The article discusses various methods and approaches to the use of visual graphics in general biology classes. One effective method is the creation of diagrams and charts that help visualize complex relationships and processes in biology. Illustrations, modeling, and computer graphics are also used to help students better visualize and understand biological phenomena. The empirical research conducted by the authors reflects the relationship between the type of information perception and its presentation form. It was found that the visual channel of information perception is dominant among the majority of high school students. It is argued that visual graphics contribute to a deeper understanding and memorization of information because visual images have a strong impact on students’ mental activity. It is precisely visual graphics that help students connect theoretical concepts with specific visual examples, which promotes more productive and long-term memorization. Therefore, the use of visual graphics in general biology classes can improve academic performance and stimulate students’ interest in studying this subject. Effective use of visual graphics in general biology classes is of great importance for improving the quality of the educational process. It not only contributes to better assimilation of the material but also develops visual skills and critical thinking.
