The article reveals results of the analysis concerning definition of "competence" and "subject competence". On this basis the author forms a working definition of biological competence as a holistic education that combines fundamental biological knowledge, skills and values experience as to different activities, value attitude to objects of nature, life, understanding of its preservation and therefore the ability of a student to apply them in certain life situations, to make adequate decision, to express reasoning and choose personal position. The structure of the subject (biological) competence, which consists of cognitive, activity, value (axiological) components being closely interrelated and mutually stipulated, is determined. Manifestations of biological competence in the results of general education training for secondary school students and approaches to development of calendar and thematic plans on biology based on competence are shown.
