INTERDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE AS A DIDACTIC RESOURCE IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF TRAINING
The transition to the competence-based educational paradigm of the information society demanded a decisive rejection of existing dogmas, the renewal of traditional pedagogical technologies and the adjustment of their development strategy. The leading role in the innovative transformation of the higher education system in Russia is assigned to competence-based, person-centered and interdisciplinary approaches. In the interdisciplinary approach to teaching, a special place is occupied by the term «interdisciplinary knowledge», various aspects of which are reflected in the normative professional competencies of university graduates. The article analyzes the existing scientific and methodological approaches to the tasks of extracting and identifying interdisciplinary knowledge using the example of an educational program in the direction of training 09.03.03 «Applied Informatics». Based on the analysis and generalization of pedagogical research, the author's interpretation of the interdisciplinary field of knowledge as a specific didactic resource is proposed. It is shown that a necessary condition for the implementation of the semantic potential of interdisciplinary knowledge in the educational process is the joint project activities of teachers of specialized disciplines to create a basic educational program. At the same time, the interaction of teachers in the preparation of work programs, the selection of content, methods and forms of training should be built by analogy with the team activities of developers of innovative IT projects. The creative application of experience and proven in practice methods and tools for project management can improve the quality of all components of the main educational program. Reasonable accounting and use of the features of interdisciplinary knowledge in the work programs of basic disciplines opens up additional opportunities for the use of new educational technologies and improving the quality of training bachelors of engineering and technology.
