Modern educational practice requires the introduction of effective methods for the formation of research
skills among students, especially in the field of biology and ecology. One of these methods is the Petersen sampling
method, which is widely used in zoology to estimate the number of populations. This article substantiates the
application of this method in the educational process, in particular, during laboratory and field work. The article
describes a pedagogical experiment aimed at developing students' ecological thinking, statistical analysis skills and
the application of the scientific method. The results obtained demonstrate the high involvement of students, the growth
of their research activity and a deeper understanding of the principles of population ecology. The practical significance
of the work lies in the development of a model for the implementation of the Petersen method in school and university
biology courses, which makes the learning process more interactive and applied.
