Abstract

This article examines the scientific and methodological foundations for the effective use of digital technologies in biology education. In the modern education system, the use of digital resources has become one of the key factors in improving the quality of education, developing students' research skills, and fostering their interest in the subject. The article analyzes the pedagogical potential of using BilimLand, Kundelik.kz, Google Classroom, PhET Interactive Simulations, HHMI BioInteractive, Kahoot!, Quizizz, Wordwall, LearningApps, Quizlet, and artificial intelligence tools in biology lessons. In addition, the impact of digital technologies on students' functional literacy, critical thinking, and practical skills is described based on scientific literature.
