ON THE CONCEPT OF FORMING A MODEL INTEGRATED NATURAL CO URSE OF ACADEMIC DIRECTION

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of creating a model integrated natural science course for the profile level of secondary education, introduced in 2027. The materials of the article outline the relevance of the issues raised in the article, which lie in the context of recent scientific research and directions of development of domestic pedagogical thought on issues of integration in the educational space. The analysis of publications on the topic of the study made it possible to establish the absence of a unified approach to understanding the concept of “integration”, which is the basis for further research on this topic. The state standard of specialized secondary education in the context of its goal-setting, the potential opportunities for disclosing the content of educational areas embedded in it, provides the author with ample opportunities for modeling a design that can be implemented when building the structure and content of the natural science educational branch. In particular, the article reveals potential models for organizing training in the natural science educational direction at the specialized level. The author assumes that the most common model in the educational process will be an integrated course of natural science. To create it, it is proposed to rely on the following main conceptual provisions: the integration of natural science and other branches as a basic principle; mastering science as an activity and process of cognition; forming a holistic natural science picture of the world; the content should be formed on the basis of basic fundamental concepts, theories, concepts; anthropocentrism as a key principle of human life and the environment; understanding the trends in the development of technology, production, economics; forming a holistic worldview in conjunction with other branches of knowledge. Based on the formulated principles, a concept for forming a typical integrated natural science course of academic focus and directions for further research on this topic is proposed.
