Features of interdisciplinary connections between natural and humanities disciplines in the context of a competency-based approach to teaching staff training

Abstract

Relevance. In modern conditions, interdisciplinary links have acquired the character of integrated cognition, which contributed to the formation of a holistic system of scientific knowledge about a single picture of the world without dividing it into natural sciences and humanities and required the elimination of isolation in the study of the content of relevant academic disciplines.Purpose. The aim of the study is to determine the importance of interdisciplinary links between natural sciences and humanities as a means of developing the scientific world-view of future teachers.Methodology. In the course of the work the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, systematization, generalization, forecasting were used, among empirical ones � the method of testing.Results. The study explored the difference and commonality between natural sciences and humanities with their identical structural composition (facts, concepts, phenomena, theories) as the basis of the method of formation of students� scientific consciousness, which contributes to the implementation of the educational goal, that is, the formation of students� knowledge integrity in the designated directions. The significance of interdisciplinary links as a fundamental means of competence-based approach to education is revealed.Conclusions. It is concluded that the conditions of quality implementation of interdisciplinary links in teacher training are mandatory at every stage of higher education. The main requirements for the implementation of interdisciplinarity aimed at the study of natural sciences and humanities should be fulfilled starting from primary grades. The growth of the diversity of sciences should take place in the conditions of integration and orderliness, which contributes to the enrichment of science at the level of integrative holistic complex. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results obtained in the design and implementation of curricula and work programmes for the professional training of teaching staff.
