| The basic concepts of biology, molecular diversity in living things, structure and function of biological molecules, cell types, cell structure and functioning, metabolic events in living things, cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis are the basic elements that should be known in the field of Science Education Biology. These issues should be addressed further than undergraduate education. The aim of the course; To enable students to comprehend the structure, life styles, reproduction, and biochemical events occurring in the cell and to understand their relationship with daily life in the solution of possible problems in Science Education practice. | |||||
