Interdisciplinary Integration in Teaching Literature

ABSTRACT

The article examines the scientific-theoretical foundations and practical significance of interdisciplinary integration in teaching literature lessons in secondary schools. The impact of teaching literature in connection with other – history, geography, music, fine arts and philosophy on the formation of students' worldview, the development of analytical and critical thinking skills is analyzed. The relevance of the interdisciplinary approach to modern educational requirements is substantiated. Based on the constructivist learning theory, this approach ensures that the student does not accept knowledge ready-made, but reconstructs it on the basis of knowledge acquired in various subjects. The difficulties arising in the teaching process in the modern Azerbaijani school are related to both global educational changes and the specific characteristics of the national educational environment. These difficulties manifest themselves in pedagogical, psychological, methodological and technological aspects. Interdisciplinary integration in literature lessons allows students to perceive the world as a single system, to build a bridge between artistic thought and scientific knowledge. This approach confirms that literature in a modern school is not only a subject, but also the main tool for shaping personality.
