Methodical training is most effective, especially in biology, as in any field of education. It is important to determine the place of methodological education in pedagogical learning. It aims to form the opinions of future biology teachers about the methodological approach. In this study, which was developed at the University of Educational Sciences, studies were carried out for better education with students who teach biology. The methodological training of future biology teachers implies the acquisition of certain methodological knowledge. A qualitative method was used in this study, which was carried out with students who teach biology. The opinions of the pre-service teachers were detailed. Ethical approval was obtained from the university for this study, which was applied to 112 biology graduate candidates. The findings obtained from the research conducted with the content analysis method are stated and explained. From the research, it was concluded that the methodological approach is especially important for biology and that the arguments of the methodological approach should be understood in detail. It is included in the students’ results that the education subjects in the given university are prepared according to the access method.

More effective methodologies are still needed to achieve a system that can inspire students' interest and motivation and guide them toward science and research. This results in a need for more robust value system formation among students in educational settings. The study's main objective was to develop and implement a value system formation technology for school children in the context of active teaching, focusing on biology education. This research is a qualitative study involving biology teachers and schoolchildren in a school's educational environment. The data collection methods used in this study were interviews, observation, and document analysis. The instrument used was an observation sheet. The data analysis methods used in this research are thematic and content analysis. The results showed that Monakhov's axiom technology effectively increased students' involvement and interest in project and research activities and assisted teachers in achieving educational goals oriented towards the holistic development of students' values. In conclusion, the findings of this study show a significant increase in the number of scientific and research works conducted by students of schools participating in competitions such as DARYN and MAN over the past three years. This research is expected to inform educational policy and curriculum development, promoting the integration of project and research activities to develop individuals with solid scientific thinking, ethical values, and a sense of responsibility towards their environment.

Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. has extensive use in traditional medicine and diverse biological activities due to its rich phytochemical profile. In this study, firstly, the physicochemical characteristics of the plant material were evaluated, revealing a high content of extractive substances (17.684%), followed by ash (6.740%) and moisture (5.000%). Among the bioactive constituents, tannins were the most abundant (7.439%). Analysis of macroelements in the plant ash showed K (11.4330 mg/g) as the predominant element, followed by Mg (97.13 mg/g), Ca (75.30 mg/g), and Na (72.41 mg/g). Trace element analysis indicated Fe (1.2266 mg/g) as the most abundant microelement, with Zn (0.8870 mg/g) and Mn (0.8141 mg/g) present in comparable amounts. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the ethanolic leaf extract characterized volatile and semi-volatile constituents of 43 phytochemical components, where vitamin E was the predominant compound (20.52%), followed by phytol (12.46%) and squalene (10.29%). Further high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis confirmed the presumed presence of naringin (56.421 mg/L), followed by epicatechin (15.123 mg/L), catechin (12.485 mg/L), and phloridzin (11.800 mg/L), while gallic acid was detected at a comparatively lower concentration (0.402 mg/L). The antimicrobial activity of the aqueous leaf extract was evaluated against typical Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella abony, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. To evaluate the effect of compositional changes on antimicrobial activity, the fermented and non-fermented formulations of A. glutinosa leaf extracts were prepared. These results demonstrate measurable antibacterial effects, thereby confirming the ethnopharmacological significance of A. glutinosa and highlighting its potential as a source of natural antimicrobial agents for further pharmacological development.
