Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of the problem of identifying the structural unit of science and scientific knowledge. For a long time, discipline stood as such a unit, and the principle of disciplinarity acted as the dominant regulative principle. The article shows the mechanism of formation of disciplinary structures. It has been revealed that the phenomenon of disciplinarity occurs not in science itself, but at the interface of science and education, in the work of the institution of transmitting the scientific knowledge. The problem of searching for possible new structural units of scientific knowledge during the transition from science to technosciences is raised. It is shown that in the transition to interdisciplinary research, the discipline as a structural unit remains basic. The search for truly new structural units of scientific knowledge takes place in the transition from disciplinary structures to project formats, research programs, problem-solving and search activity engines, in implementing social activity engineering.
