Abstract

The article deals with the interdisciplinary approach as an interdependent system of knowledge integration, expressed in research and teaching.The interpretation of the term “interdisciplinary approach in research and training” by E.M. Mirsky is taken as a basis, he interdisciplinary interaction is considered as a relationship between the systems of disciplinary knowledge in the process of integration and differentiation of sciences and collective forms of work of scientists in different fields of knowledge in the study of the same object.The article is based on an interdisciplinary approach the scientific base and system of education as a complex of fundamental and taxonomic disciplines are considered. The interdisciplinary connections with the focus on the effectiveness of training are considered. It contains the consistency of educational programs, determined by didactic goals and content. Interdisciplinary connections with the competence approach allow transferring knowledge, skills and abilities from one sphere of science and professional activity to another. Interdisciplinary approach is aimed at linking academic disciplines.There are several formats of implementation of an interdisciplinary approach to teaching at universities in the specialty “Economics”, based on an interdisciplinary approach offers to form the competence in the study of economic disciplines.The contradictions in the assimilation of knowledge, ideas and researching methods between the Sciences are smoothed out, and there is a complex application of the theory and practice obtained on the basis of the study of disciplines in professional activities.
