Efficiency of Integration of Knowledge, Forms and Methods of Education of Students in Vocational-Technical School

Abstract

Th e article demonstrates the expediency of integrating of knowledge of the structure and properties of substance and building materials. It is shown that this approach avoids duplication of related material, overcomes inconsistency in the interpretation of concepts, the use of quantities and units of their measurements. Didactic requirements for the implementation of the ideas of integrated learning of related material are substantiated, the integrated content of knowledge of the substance and materials is worked out, diff erent forms and methods of knowledge integration are tested depending on the nature of the integrated material. Special feedback from teachers of special technology and masters of industrial training is received. Th e training off ered by our programs also receives a positive assessment of the students due to the decrease in the workload, the reduction of homework with the same educational signifi cance, the availability of special concepts, the emergence of interest in the study of physics. Th e experiment reveals that integrated lessons, lectures, laboratory and tests, as well as integrated questions, tasks with integrated content, concretization and supplementation of physical knowledge with general and special ones, use of complex tasks, etc. are found to be eff ective forms of knowledge integration. Generalization of the results of the experimental work shows the benefi ts of learning oriented programs that involve the integration of students' knowledge about the structure and properties of substance and building materials. It is important not to overburden any educational process with excessive integration, but to focus on its optimal use: in fact, the laws of educational integrology are aimed at it.
