TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN HIGHER EDUCATION AS A WAY TO QUALITY TEACHER TRAINING

Abstract

The article presents a theoretical analysis and experimental validation of the effectiveness of a transdisciplinary approach in preparing future educators within the context of the digital transformation of education. The study identifies key transdisciplinary competencies necessary for solving complex interdisciplinary problems. A modified educational discipline, “Methodology of Teaching and Upbringing,” is developed with an emphasis on integrating knowledge from related disciplines. A formative experiment, including competency content analysis and curriculum updates, evaluated the approach’s effectiveness based on a control group comparison of experimental and control groups. Statistical analysis revealed significantly higher results in the experimental group using the transdisciplinary program. The findings support the hypothesis that a transdisciplinary approach positively impacts academic performance and the development of key competencies in future educators, highlighting the need for further development and implementation in educational processes to improve the quality of specialist training. The research opens avenues for further investigation into various methodological approaches and pedagogical technologies within the framework of transdisciplinarity.
