Abstract


In the 2018 general educational program, learning themes in subjects are the new educational contents, to help students enhance the use of knowledges and practical skills to solve practical problems, to meet for career orientational requirements. In this study, by  theoretical reseaching and pedagogical empirical method, the 7-step design process and the process organizing experiential learning activities through 3 stages in teaching Biological learning themes and the results of applying that process were introduced. These results contribute to help Biological teachers approach to the implementation of the general educational program effectively.
