Interdisciplinary integration as a model of a continuous education system: implementation experience

the article is devoted to the analysis of the experience of applying interdisciplinary integration in the educational process as one of the directions of implementing the system of continuous education in Russia and abroad. Today, the teaching community is seeking ways to improve mechanisms for promoting a continuous education system as the most effective model for ongoing human development and self-improvement. The purpose of this article is to present the results of a theoretical study examining approaches to the application of interdisciplinary integration in education. In this context, the authors attempt to identify key areas for implementing interdisciplinary integration and identify the conditions and risks of its implementation through the study and analysis of existing research on the topic. The research methods included analysis and synthesis at the stage of working with the conceptual apparatus of the study, generalization of the experience of using integration in the education of schoolchildren and students, descriptive analysis identifying modern trends in the use of integration, and comparison of the results of research by Russian and foreign teams of authors. The results of the study show that sufficient experience has now been accumulated in implementing interdisciplinary integration in education at various levels of school and university education. However, there are critical factors affecting its effectiveness and implementation challenges in the teaching of school and university subjects that must be considered when designing and implementing interdisciplinary integration programs. Various options exist for implementing interdisciplinary integration: from modernizing the content of teacher education to developing proprietary implementation methods. Professional and personal development as part of continuous education is impossible without the integration of experience across various subject areas, an understanding of the need for interdisciplinary integration, and a holistic worldview. Effective implementation of interdisciplinary integration will require the creation of special organizational and pedagogical conditions, taking into account the factors of effectiveness and the challenges of its implementation in the teaching of school and university subjects.
