ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the teaching design and practice of interdisciplinary integration in high school biology teaching and analyze its impact on the cultivation of students' comprehensive qualities. The research method combines biology with knowledge from subjects such as chemistry and physics through project-based learning and inquiry-based learning, and encourages students to solve practical problems from multiple disciplinary perspectives. The teaching implementation steps include early interdisciplinary lesson preparation and cooperation with teachers, mid-term independent learning through group cooperation and project tasks, and late stage deepening of understanding through actual cases, and continuous adjustment through classroom feedback. The evaluation system covers multiple dimensions such as knowledge mastery, innovation ability, problem-solving ability, and teamwork spirit. It comprehensively evaluates student performance by combining quantitative data with qualitative analysis. The experimental results show that interdisciplinary integrated teaching significantly improves students' performance in mastering and applying subject knowledge, innovation ability, critical thinking and teamwork. Specific data show that students' answer rate on interdisciplinary knowledge points has increased from 70%-90% to 90%-97%, the number of innovative solutions has increased significantly, and teamwork scores have generally improved, demonstrating the positive effect of interdisciplinary integrated teaching in improving students' comprehensive quality. Interdisciplinary teaching not only promotes the integration and application of students' subject knowledge but also stimulates innovative thinking and teamwork, proving its importance and feasibility in modern education.
