INFORMATION LITERACY OF STUDENTS IN GENETICS EDUCATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF BIOLOGY AND AGRONOMY MAJORS
Аннотация
Today, digital technologies have become an integral part of education. Integration of information technology plays an important role especially for natural sciences like genetics which requires accuracy and technological support. This paper finds out how well the students are familiar with the use of information technology in the study of genetics. Based on a questionnaire survey, we observed a low level of information literacy among students regardless of the year of study (among students in years 1-4). The fact that most students consider information sites in Google and Yandex search engines as an easy and quick source of information and make them the main source of information does not always form a deep understanding and knowledge. The challenges students face are related to information literacy components such as finding, evaluating, and analyzing specific scholarly sources. Having analyzed the scientific literature to address this problem, this paper presents a list of websites, virtual realities, and information bases that can be used in teaching genetics to students and faculty. The list of information resources available for use at any time allows teachers to create quality educational content with resource integration.
