Abstract

In modern biology education, the integration of digital tools, such as computer programs and
video films, enhances student engagement and comprehension. This study examines the
effectiveness of multimedia-based teaching methods in secondary school biology classes. The
research was conducted in two groups: an experimental group using digital tools and a control
group following traditional methods. A pre-test and post-test were administered to assess student
progress. The results indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group (30% increase)
compared to the control group (12% increase), demonstrating the advantages of digital resources in
teaching complex biological concepts. The findings align with Mayer’s Multimedia Learning
Theory, which emphasizes the cognitive benefits of combining verbal and visual information.
Additionally, Jonassen’s Constructivist Learning Approach supports the use of problem-based
digital environments to foster deeper understanding. The study also considers the implications of
Kazakhstan’s State Program for the Development of Education and Science (2020-2025), which
advocates for the integration of digital technologies in education. The results suggest that
multimedia-based instruction should be further implemented in biology curricula to enhance student
performance and engagement.
