THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATED LEARNING SESSIONS IN DEVELOPING INTERDISCIPLINARY THINKING SKILLS OF FUTURE TEACHERS
Abstract
In the context of modern education, the need for teachers who possess interdisciplinary thinking skills is rapidly increasing. This paper explores the role of integrated learning sessions in fostering such competencies among future educators. The study highlights theoretical foundations, practical approaches, and the effectiveness of integration in teacher education. The findings suggest that integrated instruction significantly enhances analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and professional adaptability. The paper also provides structured models and practical recommendations for implementing interdisciplinary learning in pedagogical training.
