Abstract
In didactic concepts, laws and theories are related to theoretical knowledge. In the research we follow the point of view of didactics and consider that concepts are independent elements of scientific knowledge. Concepts, as the highest form of knowledge, constitute the logical foundation of scientific systems and theories. A school subject “Biology” is a system of concepts which are developing in a logical sequence and correlation. Classical typology for the methodology of teaching biology is typology of biological concepts that divides them into simple and complex, specific and general biological. Based on the directed definitions, just the general biological concepts are that group of biological concepts whose focused development is able to provide increasing of knowledge level and thinking operations of students during study of the whole school biology course. General biological concepts (theoretical biological concepts) is the main component of biology theories structure (theoretical generalizations), which in its turn is a leading component of the biological world picture. Version of methodology, which is based on a system of cognitive tasks for purposeful development of logical thinking during the formation of the leading general biological concepts in secondary school pupils, is a subject of own researches. It can be considered as one of the most effective means of successfully mastering of the updated content of school biology course.
