Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the research-based approach (IBSE) in Biology education. Teachers need a set of skills to achieve their educational goals. Teachers and professors have long been trying to convey concepts in a better, easier and more efficient way, and this need and effort has led to the invention and creation of new teaching methods in the education system. One of these new teaching methods, especially in basic sciences, is research-based teaching method. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical. In line with this purpose, in the present study, the method of documentary studies has been used to collect information and the print and electronic sources have been studied. This article also mentions experiences in teaching the twelfth biology textbook based on this method. The results show that research-based science teaching methods can help teachers to respond to how to create a research-oriented and flexible spirit, as well as try to teach the thinking process to the learner. Teaching biology through this scientific method, in addition to involving the student in the learning process, can reduce the stress caused by the weight of the curriculum and make the student eager to learn the lesson.
