WAYS TO IMPLEMENT A TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN TEACHERS’ TRAINING

Abstract

The article discusses specific ways to introduce a transdisciplinary approach to teacher education, as well as their theoretical justification. The author analyzes how this approach can be applied in practice in the training of modern teachers. Characterizing the mechanism of implementation of transdisciplinarity in teachers’ education, the emphasis is placed on the integration of scientific knowledge and methods of activity. When substantiating the tools for implementing a transdisciplinary approach in teacher training, it is proposed to turn to cluster interaction, the use of contextual professional tasks and pedagogical cases. The process of solving these tasks is demonstrated by the example of Irkutsk State University. A study of his educational practice has shown that a transdisciplinary approach provides students with a holistic understanding of complex processes and helps them find productive solutions to pressing problems. The transdisciplinary approach changes the very structure of the future teacher’s professional thinking, due to the formation of the ability to see educational processes not fragmentarily, but in their entirety, to capture the dynamics of what is happening.
