Most of the professors in the department are involved in the elaboration of the materials and the party of the Biology Olympiad (zonal and republican). Since the founding of the department and until now, all scientific research has been carried out in two directions corresponding to the two subdivisions of the department: Biodiversity, improvement and rational use of natural resources and Contemporary issues of biology teaching.

The Department of Plant Biology was established in 1954 in the context of the reorganization of pedagogical education in the our country. At that time it was called the Department of Botany and was headed by the young (then) doctor of biology, Boris Matienco. The department has 9 active members, including 4 doctors in biological sciences: B.Matienco; Gh.Simonov; V.Şuberneţchi; P.Crăciun, 12 cumulars and 6 laboratory workers. Through the effort of the members of the department, courses were developed and taught: Morphological and systematic botany; Plant physiology; Basics of agriculture; Darwinism; Methodology of teaching biology. Subsequently, many of the department’s collaborators became well-known personalities in research, education and other fields of the national economy.

Boris Matienco, doctor habilitat, academician. The first head of the Department of Botany (1955-1959). He was later invited to Chisinau, where he devoted himself to research: the founder of the Scientific School in the field of Plant Anatomy and Cytology in the Republic of Moldova; elaborates and publishes the first Manual of Plant Morphology in Romanian (with cyrillic characters); author of the strategy for fruit development, structure, ultrastructure of their evolution and in vitro carpoculture as a new direction in plant biotechnology; the initiator and promoter of modern methods of electron microscopy in Moldova; the founder of the Carpotron Experimental Complex – 1.

VI. Didactic activity

Within the Faculty of Biology and Chemistry, the Scientific Laboratory of Ecological Biotechnologies operates in a cluster with the Department of Plant Biology, led by Boris Nedbaliuc. Here, students have the opportunity to conduct scientific research in various biological, chemical, etc. disciplines. working on various projects.

Of particular interest to students is the „Botanist” circle, whose meetings are often attended by students and teachers from many high schools and centers of excellence.

Most of the professors at the department are involved in the elaboration of the materials and the party of the Biology Olympiad (zonal and republican).

The social and political changes of the country in the last period were also reflected on the activity of the department.

In this context, the members of the department are always concerned with: the permanent improvement of the training and research conditions of biology students; periodic review / elaboration of curricula (analytical programs) for the course units of the department; promotion at a high scientific-methodical level of fundamental courses, specialization, seminars, practical and laboratory works; organizing individual and extracurricular work with students; directing the process of elaboration and defense of bachelor’s and master’s theses; organizing and conducting scientific research, highlighting the applicative aspect, implementing some aspects in the instructive-didactic process; organizing and directing pedagogical practice, internships in production, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, etc.

The year 2020 began with a new challenge both for our country and for the whole world, the pandemic – COVID-19. The entire civil society intervened with response measures to mitigate the impact of this infection on the education system. The members of the Plant Biology department, along with the entire teaching staff of Tiraspol State University, mobilized to find technical solutions in order to facilitate the training of students in online format, using as a tool – information technologies. Under these conditions, students and teachers already communicate not in the classroom, but at home, at the computer monitor, so that the study process is not stopped. Several educational platforms are used, to which students have access to course materials, and have the opportunity to send to teachers the topics completed, including individual work. Thus, the activity of the department members demonstrates that the return from quarantine to the normal training process will have a positive impact on the more efficient use of digital tools in various instructive-educational activities.
