Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged teachers and opened the door to how to appropriately teach and evaluate acquisition of knowledge and science skills that examine the procedural and metacognitive dimensions of students' knowledge in an online environment. This thought also launched the project "Learning biology in an epidemiologically adapted research environment" as part of the project "health, economic and educational aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic" (IP-CORONA-2020-12). The goal of the research is to determine the effectiveness of the materials used for the 3rd grade of high school in solving tasks that examine procedural and metacognitive levels of knowledge in relation to traditional teaching methods. 181 students of the 4th grade of high school took part in the project, in September 2021. they took an online written knowledge test, and 275 students of the 3rd grade of high school used the created materials during the 2021/2022 school year. The 3rd grade students took the written knowledge test in June 2022. The results of the research show a better overall solution for the written knowledge test of the students of the experimental group, as well as a better solution for the tasks that examine higher knowledge cognitive levels. The analysis of the results showed that the solving of tasks after using the ASIO learning model using the BUBO virtual classroom is overall 32 % more successful while questions from certain cognitive levels have even 45 % better results compared to control groups.
