DEVELOPING FUNCTIONAL LITERACY THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY INTEGRATION OF BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
Abstract
The article examines the role of interdisciplinary integration in the development of functional literacy. The content of an elective course for Grade 8, based on the integration of biology, chemistry, and physics, is described. The research results show that integrative tasks effectively develop students’ scientific thinking, research skills, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations.
