INTER-CURRICULA LINKS AS A RESOURCE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPETENCY APPROACH AT THE LESSONS OF LITERARY READINGS

Abstract

The genesis of the study on interdisciplinary connections was revealed; its relevance in the implementation of competence approach in primary schools, especially in the literary readings was proved. Inter-curricula links are defined as communication lines between the objects for the purpose of comprehensive cognition of the concepts, phenomena, mastering the methods of action that are in the real relations of similarity or difference and are parts of the competencies. The functions of the interdisciplinary communication include promoting the integrity of the knowledge, the development of the students’ association thinking, universal ways of life, cognitive interest; applying intercurricula links is a prerequisite for the use of various forms of integrated education (content, block, interdisciplinary). Conceptual bases of the research are based on systematic and competent approach that define the line of interdisciplinary links of literary readings with the subjects (Ukrainian language, arts, «I am in the world», natural sciences). According to the interdisciplinary links, a system of interdisciplinary tasks, which aims at forming competences components was defined. The terms of reading, content and structure of a reading competence is the basis for determining the types of interdisciplinary tasks and combining them into a system. Three types of problems were determined; they are the following: knowledge (enrichment, addition, clarification of educational material on the lessons of literary reading with the information from other subjects); and activity (gaining universal cognitive abilities, actions by the students); value-oriented (formation and development of feelings, attitudes, evaluative judgments).
