ENGINEERING AS A MODEL FOR DESIGNING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCES
The increased interest to engineering in recent years has led to the ambiguity of its interpretations. The authors of the article summarize the main points of view and on the basis of the etymological analysis identify the main components of engineering: science, technology, nature and society. The results obtained allowed us to consider engineering as a model for designing educational programs for school education. The methods of designing the content of subjet and methasubject components are substantiated by the method of ontologies. Besides, they are supported by the specific examples of technological solutions in the regional curriculum and the natural-science direction.
