Abstract

The paper deals with the theory of didactic situations formulated for the didactics of mathematics and possibilities of its use in the didactics of biology. Research presented in this paper examines the ability of pre-service biology teachers to apply aforementioned theory in preparation for teaching. This skill was evaluated on the basis of the students’ written preparation for teaching and with regard to the questions they solved during this process and they wrote down. The obtained data was analysed by qualitative approach. The results show that the students were able to apply this theory appropriately even at their first encounter with it. For this reason we recommend it to be incorporated into courses of didactics of biology.
