The article reveals the process of formation of methods of justification and selection of visual aids by future teachers of biology and the basics of health in classes on the educational discipline "Modern didactic teaching aids". The future teacher's ability to rationally select them based on the purpose and content of the lesson, the peculiarities of the organization of educational and cognitive activities of students of a certain age is one of the components of his professional development. Types of visibility and the role of visibility means in the educational process of a modern institution of general secondary education are analyzed. The principle of visibility demonstrates its effectiveness throughout its existence. Its implementation should take place in accordance with changes in the tasks of education, interaction between subjects of the educational process, informatization of society, expanded capabilities of technical means of education, etc. The article describes the visualization tools used in teaching biology and the basics of health. Means of natural visualization are of primary importance in biology lessons. Means of pictorial or visual visibility have gained the greatest use in teaching biology and the basics of health, they include: three-dimensional (waxwork and models) and planar (educational tables, posters, pictures, photographs, etc.). Means of graphic visualization differ in their variety from the teacher's schematic drawings on the blackboard to mind maps. A special place in the teaching methodology is occupied by multimedia tools: presentations, video films, 3D drawings and models, animations, interactive models. Attention is drawn to taking into account the specific characteristics of schoolboys of the so-called "generation Z" and the features of distance learning. The content of tasks for practical classes, aimed at the formation of subject-methodical competence and involves the activity of students in the selection and distribution of visual aids according to the stages of the lesson, is given. Students need to justify the choice of a certain tool or its combination with others at a specific stage of the lesson, propose tasks or questions for its effective use. Other tasks require predicting the further development of the lesson using certain means. The future teacher of biology and the basics of health must possess the techniques of justification, selection and application of an arsenal of visualization tools, which are improved and become more and more convenient and effective.
