Abstract
The global crisis of civilization has highlighted to humanity a variety of difficult socio-cultural, ecological-economic and technical-technological problems. Their solving is connected with going beyond disciplinary borders and using fundamental science integration as well as the potential of the applied and non-scientific knowledge. In the modern cognitive theory, transdisciplinary approach is considered as one of promising approaches for studying such problems and developing complex projects for their solving. For its practical application, specialists of new formation are required that possess a broad mind, deep knowledge of specific professional field, high level of ecological culture, competence in the related branches of study. In this context, the content of education is in need of conceptual changes. On one hand, it should become integrative, aimed to form a holistic view of world, but on the other hand, it should be differentiated, giving profound knowledge in the field of the future career. The relevance of this paper is associated with the need to form a preparedness of graduates to find professional solutions for difficult problems of natural, antropogenic and social character, to make intelligent decisions, to act wisely in emergency situations. The article aims to study possibilities of using this transdisciplinary approach in the context of graduate training. The paper reviews some methodological aspects of transdisciplinary approach in the training content modeling. Its correlation with multidisciplinary and integrative approaches is discussed. The contribution is revealed of the ideas, metaphors and postnonclassical models of science in the practical realization of the approach. A complex of methodological tools is presented with a system of learning courses and a set of active training technologies, in which the idea of transdisciplinarity is implemented. Didactic foundations are discovered for the modeling of the elective learning courses possessing transdisciplinarity attributes. Authors’ research shows that using the developed complex in the training practice has a positive effect on the formation of holistic world view of graduates, the ability to solve difficult problems and development of their ecological culture. However, authors note that the theory of transdisciplinarity is still in its infancy. Such phenomena as «transdisciplinarity» and «transdisciplinary approach» need a deeper methodological substantiation and a comprehensive philosophical understanding in order for them to take their rightful place in the theory and practice of modern education.
