Structuring the Content of Mathematical and Natural-Science Knowledge as a Factor of Formation the Universal Competences in Pedagogical Education

Abstract

The aim of the article is by isolation the basic single elements, structural units and categorical features in the structures of mathematical and natural-science knowledge to build an educational process according to certain logical schemes that contribute to the effective selection of educational content and the formation of universal competencies.

Methods. Analysis of knowledge structures of various subject areas, the synthesis of complex structures from structural units and the analogy of actions according to certain logical schemes.

Result. A technique is proposed for identifying structural units in various subject areas of knowledge, which allows to detect the similarity of building processes with their help of more complex objects and concepts.

Conclusion. Generalization of scientific concepts on the basis of related concepts of  interdisciplinary content, the selection and structuring of the content of education takes place according to isomorphic logical schemes. The quantitative characteristics of the structural units of any chemical or biological substance and the structural units of mathematical knowledge have similar models of representation.
