Abstract:
In the article student-oriented environment and reciprocal approach in teaching biology are considered.
The authors maintain in order to help students feel safe and comfortable in learning, the classroom needs
to be student-centered. To show students what they know and feel proud of what they know, reciprocal teaching
can be a powerful tool to become their own teachers. While preparing and delivering lessons, the following
are improvements anticipated in students: ability to select useful and meaningful information from different
sources, reading and analyzing information, organizing and highlighting relevant information to learn
a topic, and oral and written communication of their learning.
