Abstract

The article considers foreign experience of interdisciplinary educational programs implementation. The authors described the relevance and possibilities of applying an interdisciplinary approach in education and science, forms of interdisciplinary learning (in particular, through the study of individual disciplines based on a combination of knowledge, methods from different specialties, interdisciplinary links between disciplines in the educational program, two educational programs simultaneously, interdisciplinary programs). Peculiarities of introducing the interdisciplinary approach and models of teaching according to educational programs on the examples of Warsaw and Jagiellonian universities were determined. The model of MISH (individual interdisciplinary humanities and social education), MISMaP (exact, natural, social and human sciences), Artes Liberales model (determines the individual trajectory of education through the humanities, social and natural sciences) are characterized. The authors clarified the peculiarities of creating, implementing, organizing the teaching process in interdisciplinary programs, selecting students, enrolling in elective courses, writing scientific interdisciplinary papers, the enhanced role of tutors, mentors, the importance of integrating research into the educational process. It was found that special attention should be paid to the development of soft skills: critical and creative thinking, writing scientific texts, the ability to work in a team, empathy, communication, etc. The peculiarities of Polish and Ukrainian legislation in terms of interdisciplinary program implementation were also identified. In Ukraine, interdisciplinary programs are allowed from December 2019 for masters (only for educational and scientific programs) and for junior bachelors. The lack of requirements for interdisciplinary programs highlights the problems with the development and registration of such educational programs in the Unified State Education Database, their implementation for regulated professions, the peculiarities of accreditation. The need to improve the regulatory framework for the implementation and accreditation of interdisciplinary programs in Ukraine has been identified. Emphasis is placed on the challenges facing universities which want to implement such programs, including higher tuition fees, limits to the programs entry and exit , the need for organizational changes for administration, and the specifics of accreditation. Key words: interdisciplinary approach, educational programs, forms and models of interdisciplinary learning.
