COMICS IN BIOLOGY EDUCATION: SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION, ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGES AND STUDENT CREATIVITY

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the educational comic as an effective tool for scientific communication and environmental education within the context of biology education. The analysis is based on the national student competition for educational biology comics, „Let’s Save the Life of the Planet!”, organized by the Faculty of Biology at Sofia University „St. Kliment Ohridski” and the National Museum of Natural History – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Through qualitative thematic and content analysis of the submitted student works, the study explores how students interpret scientific biological knowledge, environmental issues, and their own role in nature conservation. The results indicate that the use of educational comics supports the understanding of complex scientific concepts, stimulates critical thinking, and contributes to the development of environmental attitudes. The findings highlight the potential of educational comics as part of the contemporary STEAM approach and as a complementary tool in both formal and informal biology education.
