Abstract


The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships between the biological basic knowledge level, biological application skills level, and biological critical skills level on academic achievement variables. The quasi-experimental quantitative approach, the test, and two cluster random samples of students were selected to be used in the study. The study found a positive correlation between biological basic knowledge level, biological application skills level, biological critical skills level, and academic achievements. It is also found that the total variance of academic achievements explained by biological basic knowledge level, biological application skills level, and biological critical skills level is 66.7% for the experimental group, and 86.3% for the comparison group.

Ziel der Studie ist es, die Beziehungen zwischen dem biologischen Grundwissensniveau, dem Niveau der biologischen Anwendungsfähigkeiten und dem Niveau der biologisch kritischen Fähigkeiten in Bezug auf akademische Leistungsvariablen zu untersuchen. Der quasi-experimentelle quantitative Ansatz, der Test und zwei Cluster-Zufallsstichproben von Studenten wurden ausgewählt, um in der Studie verwendet zu werden. Die Studie ergab eine positive Korrelation zwischen dem biologischen Grundwissen, dem Niveau der biologischen Anwendungsfähigkeiten, dem Niveau der biologischen kritischen Fähigkeiten und den akademischen Leistungen. Es wurde auch festgestellt, dass die Gesamtvarianz der akademischen Leistungen, die durch das biologische Grundwissen, das Niveau der biologischen Anwendungsfähigkeiten und das Niveau der biologischen kritischen Fähigkeiten erklärt wird, für die Versuchsgruppe 66,7% und für die Vergleichsgruppe 86,3% beträgt.
