Abstract

This article explores contemporary trends in the fundamentalisation of biological education in the context of preparing future biology teachers. Using the case of Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University, the study demonstrates that fundamentalisation entails a synergistic approach, integrating various essential components. These include the provision of systematic, core, and invariant biological knowledge; the active engagement of academic staff and students in research activities; the development of students’ soft skills; proficiency in English for professional communication; competence in modern information and communication technologies and their application in the educational process; the implementation of individualised learning trajectories; and an in-depth understanding of education for sustainable development. The fundamentalisation of biological education enhances the quality of subject-specific instruction within the educational and professional training programme for future biology teachers, forming a crucial element of their general pedagogical competence.
