Organizing The Teaching Process Of The Physics Course Based On Interdisciplinary Connections

Abstract

This article focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of the teaching process on the basis of
interdisciplinary connections, drawing on the work carried out at leading centers specializing in pedagogical
research. It examines the definitions of interdisciplinary connections provided in the scientific and
methodological works of prominent scholars. The concepts of interdisciplinary education and various didactic
and methodological approaches are analyzed, and their application in teaching physics is explored. Based on
the research findings, a definition of interdisciplinary connections and a schematic representation of how to
organize the teaching process using these connections are provided.
The article highlights the information-methodological support for improving the effectiveness of teaching
physics on the basis of interdisciplinary connections, as well as the ways in which “Natural Sciences” lessons
integrate physics knowledge to foster interdisciplinarity. It underscores how the acquired knowledge helps
students in future career choices, explores ways to increase the intensity of integration in the pedagogical
process, and explains how to develop students’ scientific awareness competencies by explaining physics
concepts using related disciplines. The integration of physics with other natural and exact sciences is shown to
increase students’ cognitive activity and develop their physics-oriented thinking, thereby making the
educational process more effective and engaging. Moreover, a mathematical analysis of the experimental work
and the achieved effectiveness in improving the quality of physics education is provided.
