Introduction:
Using the integration of chemistry with
natural sciences helps greatly to improve the
professional competence of students. This process
allows students to understand the subjects as a whole,
see their interrelationships and apply their scientific
knowledge in practical life. Here are some key points:
Deepening Knowledge: Integration helps students see
the connections between different subjects and
explore them more deeply. For example, integrating
chemistry and biology can help students better
understand the chemical processes taking place in
organisms.
Improving problem solving ability: By integrating
natural sciences, students learn to apply different
approaches to solving complex problems. This will
greatly help them in their future professional careers.
Practical Skills Development: Integration with
chemistry and other natural sciences allows students to
develop practical skills by doing laboratory work and
conducting experiments.
Creation and Innovation: Through the integration
process, students develop creativity and innovative
thinking skills while conducting research and
innovation.
Motivation and interest: The integration of natural
sciences shows students interdisciplinarity and
increases their interest. This will increase their
motivation to study.
The integration of chemistry and natural sciences plays
a fundamental role in the application of scientific
knowledge in practical life and provides a solid
foundation for the success of students in their future
professional activities.
Formation of professional skills. The combination of
chemistry and natural sciences provides students with
the following professional competencies:
Develops skills in analyzing and conducting
experiments through laboratory experiments.
It provides an opportunity to study and put into
practice the principles of environmental safety and
sustainable development.
The integration of natural sciences is the process of
studying various natural sciences, such as biology,
chemistry, physics, and geography, by combining them.
This approach contributes to the expansion of scientific
knowledge and a better understanding of complex
issues through the development of interdisciplinary
connections. Here are some examples of the

integration of natural sciences:
Ecology and Environmental Science-this field combines
various aspects of biology, chemistry, and geography.
For example, in the process of studying ecosystems, the
chemical composition, physical environment, and
biological diversity of the components are studied
together.
Integration with biology: The study of biochemical
processes and chemical reactions in living organisms
shows students the importance of chemistry in biology
and broadens their horizons. Examples are
photosynthesis, respiration, and enzyme chemistry.
Biochemistry-biochemistry studies the chemical
processes of life and is located on the border of biology
and chemistry.
Geophysics studies the physical properties and
processes of the Earth, combining physical and
geographical sciences.
Integration with ecology: The study of chemical issues
related to environmental protection (e.g. pollution,
global warming) teaches students the practical
importance of chemistry and a sense of responsibility.
The integration of natural sciences makes it possible to
combine the teaching of subjects both at school and in
higher education institutions. This approach helps
students better understand complex issues and
deepens their knowledge.
The scientific research of Nadezhda Mikhailovna
Slautina, Anatoly Alexandrovich Irincheev, Ekaterina
Alexandrovna Sadovskaya, and Tatyana Petrovna
Lapeko can be mentioned about the formation of the
professional competence of future teachers in
developed countries and their scientific solutions.
In her scientific research, Slautina Nadezhda
Mikhailovna considered the formation of professional
qualifications of students of higher educational
institutions as an independent task. This means that in
his research he focuses on the implementation of a
competence-based approach to the content of
vocational education programs, the choice of
appropriate technologies and the organization of
student activities. The main idea of the study was to
substantiate and verify how the process of student
training at a modern university changes the formation
of professional competence in accordance with the
trends and prospects of the development of the world
community and the higher education system [1]. The
purpose of the study and the hypothesis put forward
led to the solution of the following tasks:
Systematization of trends and prospects of university
students' training and identification of opportunities
for using a competence-based approach in the
preparation of their students. The process of
concretization and implementation of pedagogical
conditions for the formation of professional
competence of university students is highlighted.
Development of scientific and methodological
recommendations for the formation of professional
qualifications of university students [1; 116-137-b].
Anatoly Alexandrovich Irincheev in his scientific
research is aimed at developing the professional
competence of future teachers, in which the actual
problem of research is awareness of the problem of
inconsistency of the modern level of professional
qualifications of teachers with modern methods of
pedagogical activity and professional training of future
teachers. [2].
The scientific novelty of the research: a personality-
developing approach to teacher training has been
introduced;
the methods of choosing the content of education, as
well as the implementation of its structure, are
determined, corresponding to the competence
paradigm of pedagogical education;
the harmonization of professional pedagogical
knowledge and skills is ensured;
creative, reflexive, communicative and motivational
components are provided in the structure of the
teacher's professional competence, conditions for their
development are created, the need for constant
professional self-improvement is formed [2].
The scientific novelty of Ekaterina Alexandrovna
Sadovskaya's scientific research aimed at developing
the professional competence of future professors: the
concept of professional competence of future
university professors was defined as an integral
personality trait based on the unity of knowledge,
relationships, and skills [3].
Tatyana Petrovna Lapeko's research work is aimed at
developing the professional skills of a teacher in solving
pedagogical problems. Definition of the essence of a
teacher's
professional
competence
in
solving
pedagogical problems in scientific research;
definition of the content and structure of the teacher's
professional competence development in solving
pedagogical tasks;
identification of a sufficient hierarchy of pedagogical
tasks for the development of a teacher's professional
skills in solving them;
identification of psychological and pedagogical
conditions of his development;
The task was set to develop an experimental
methodology for the development of a teacher's

professional competence in solving pedagogical tasks,
to test and analyze its effectiveness, all these tasks
were completed and reflected in the scientific novelty
of the study [4].
Several research papers from developed countries on
the use of subject integration in chemistry teaching and
the formation of professional competencies of future
chemistry teachers were analyzed.
In particular, the scientific research of Maxim
Anatolyevich Shatalov is aimed at using the integration
of disciplines in teaching chemistry in secondary
schools, and the scientific novelty of the research lies
in:
For the first time, the concept of problem-based
integrative chemistry teaching was proposed and
substantiated. For the first time, a theoretical model of
chemistry based on interdisciplinary integration and its
methodological system has been developed and
implemented. The conditions of their implementation
are highlighted. The issues of interconnection and
integration in chemistry and MPS - as an integration
mechanism - were studied in a holistic system [5].
T.A. Borovsky's scientific research focuses on the use of
integrated technologies in teaching chemistry in
secondary schools, as well as on the individualization of
chemistry teaching based on modern educational
technologies [6, 7]. In his scientific research, Alexey
Anatolyevich Zhurin devotes himself to combining
media education with a secondary school chemistry
course. The researcher developed a technology for
combining media education with a chemistry course
using both theoretical and empirical methods.:
analysis (state educational standards and their
projects, curricula, textbooks and other means of
teaching chemistry, work on didactics and private
methods of mass media communication, etc.),
modeling and design (individual teaching tools, their
complexes and systems), observation (in chemistry
lessons and extracurricular activities on the subject),
The ideas about interviews and questionnaires (of
teachers, students, parents), natural pedagogical
experience, and an expert assessment method are
given. In the process of experimental work, empirical
(pedagogical experiment, observation, monitoring,
questioning) and theoretical methods (analysis,
synthesis, abstraction, idealization) were combined [8].
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that
for the first time:
1) a new scientific idea is proposed on the need to
integrate the mass media and the traditional system of
teaching tools in order to form the foundations of
natural sciences, information culture and a modern
worldview based on the integrity of knowledge among
schoolchildren.;
2) the scientific concept of integrating media education
with a chemistry course has been developed, on the
basis of which a methodological system has been built,
including conditions, goals, content, means, forms of
education and principles of integration.;
3) the positive impact of the introduction of media
education elements on the strength and awareness of
students about chemistry and the effectiveness of
media education in the process of teaching the basics
of chemistry has been proven [8].
He has prepared new didactic developments for the
system of teaching tools that improve the level of
chemical education of schoolchildren and integrate
media education with the chemistry course and
combine traditional teaching tools (printed notebooks,
sets of tasks and exercises, demo tables) with new
generation tools (CDs for educational purposes) [8].
The technology of integrating media education with a
secondary school chemistry course is based on the
integrated use of a system of dual learning tools, which
is prepared taking into account the dual analysis of
educational information (content and form of
information).
Okolnikov Fyodor Borisovich carried out research work
on the methodology of using the integration of
chemical and biological sciences in consolidating the
experimental chemical skills of students. The main
content of the research is aimed at finding ways to
increase students' motivation to study chemistry by
integrating experimental chemical skills using previous
biology training. The hypothesis of the study was that
by regularly offering integrated laboratory work related
to biology to schoolchildren in chemistry lessons in the
eighth grade as part of the practical part of the
chemistry course, it can be expected that a significant
part of students will have a positive motivation for
chemistry lessons [9].
Research in the field of interdisciplinary relations and
integration of academic disciplines of the natural
science cycle into the educational school (V. N.
Maksimova [10], I. D. Zverev [11, 12], V. N. Fedorova
[13], A. B. Usova [14], etc.).
The research work of gilmanshina Suriya irekovna is
aimed at shaping the professional thinking of future
teachers based on a competence-based approach.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that
the following results were obtained for the first time.
The concept of a competence approach has been
developed, which involves considering professional
thinking as a competence for the formation of

personality, quality and the basic system of a teacher
and disclosing it taking into account the main features
of pedagogical activity. The competence-based
approach made it possible to scientifically substantiate
the essence and specifics of the professional thinking of
a natural sciences teacher in an integrated system of
hierarchically interrelated concepts, his models by
categories of pedagogical activity, as well as the
methodology of formation [15].
Elizaveta Borunova has developed a methodology for
studying chemistry at school in terms of integration
with the English language. Another important reason
for the development of this particular problem is the
change in the personality of the most modern student.
Currently, most schoolchildren are active users of the
global Internet, which requires research on the
formation of the foundations of media education,
including skills and experience in communicating and
using information in different languages. The
theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact
that it provides a comparative assessment of modern
domestic
and
foreign
experience
in
the
implementation of the educational process using
interdisciplinary integration of disciplines of the
chemical and humanitarian cycle, in particular a foreign
language; a conceptual model of educational work in
chemistry in the context of integration with the English
language has been developed [16].
Integrated teaching of chemistry and natural sciences
strengthens students' knowledge, enhances their
professional competence and helps them achieve
success in the labor market in accordance with the
requirements of modern science and technology.
