Implementation of Interdisciplinary Connections in the Process of Professional Training of Students

Interdisciplinary connections (interdisciplinarity) is a universal concept used by teachers of all specialties. The article presents a study of the essence of the concept of “interdisciplinary connections”, which we consider as a means of combining theoretical foundations and/or practical methods and techniques of various disciplines, with the aim of improving the quality of the educational process and their effective further use by students in the process of future professional activity. The specified term, as opposed to the term “integration”, must be used during the teaching of basic disciplines in the educational program of specialized secondary education, which include natural sciences. They are involved in the process of forming the professional competence of college students, through the use of the STEM approach to education. Its implementation in the process of training students of higher and professional pre-higher education during the period of martial law prepares them for future professional activity and labour protection in this field. It was also determined that issues needed to understand information about the war situation and ensuring a safe existence during the war, sustainable development of society, the role of modern assets in the field of science and technology, and providing equal access to employment in the STEM field require additional involvement.
