Teaching Opportunities for the Knowledge of the Biology Matriculation Exam Requirements Related to the Understanding and Protection of Water Quality Values in situ Conditions

Abstract

One of the most serious global problems facing our planet is the rise in tropospheric temperatures. A major consequence of climate change is the long-term increase in average temperatures, which is leading to a growing trend in the temperature values of surface waters. This issue has been proven to be of anthropogenic origin. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established that the emission of greenhouse gases has led to changes in Earth’s ecosystems, disrupting their equilibrium. Our country signed the Convention in 1992, which was ratified by the Act LXXXII of 1995. Climate change poses a particular threat to aquatic ecosystems and their biodiversity. The requirements for the high school final exams in biology, based on the 2020 National Core Curriculum, have significantly changed in the areas of environmental and nature conservation, particularly with respect to water-related thinking operations. Both intermediate and advanced levels now include expanded content. In addition to the significance of water purity and the factors threatening habitats, it is also necessary to understand the responsibility of individuals and communities. The connection between secondary school science education and environmental awareness is evident in shaping students' attitudes. Perhaps the most important condition for the effectiveness of environmental protection is a high level of societal preparation to develop the recognition, prevention, and the ability to address environmental issues.
