COMPONENTS OF FUTURE BIOLOGY TEACHER’S TERMINOLOGICAL SYSTEM

Abstract

Professional and terminology competence is an integral part of the future teacher’s
professional competence. The correctness, logic, appropriateness of the use of professional terms
are distinguishes a competent teacher. After all, the term is a unified international designation of a
certain object, phenomenon, process and provides informative speech, adequate perception of the
basic meaning. The biological terminology system include a nomenclature subsystem. A
competent biology teacher in the course of his professional activity operates with both terms and
nomens, which form the basis of the biological nomenclature. The purpose of the research is to
identify the role and possibility of step-by-step study of terminological elements, nomens,
eponyms and acronyms during the terminological professional training of a biology teacher. The
main components of future biology teacher’s terminology system are indicated. The characteristic
and classification of term elements, nomens, eponyms, acronyms are given. As a result of
theoretical analysis and testing of the method of formation of professional and terminological
competence of future biology teachers professional training it is established: 1) the effectiveness of
terminological training of students is ensured by consistency and regularity; 2) the optimal stepby-
step sequence of learning of biological terminology and nomenclature systems can be
expressed in the form of a chain "terminoelement + nomen – acronym – eponym". An accessible,
fairly simple and effective form of terminological work is the compilation of a thematic
terminological dictionary, which can be presented in both handwritten and electronic form and
includes short and extended definitions of terms and (or) terminological elements. One of the main
tasks of future teachers terminological training is to study the semantics and etymology of terms
(including eponyms and acronyms) and nomens, which are based on Latin. The formation of an
active individual terminological dictionary of a student determines the further successful mastering
the disciplines of professional training, understanding international scientific terminology and
binary nomenclature. Mastering the complex knowledge of semantics and etymology of Greco-
Latin terminoelements develops logic, enhances language culture and helps to expand the
worldview of a biology student.
