An Experience of Teaching Literature Integrated With Other Sciences

Abstract

The article concerns the problems of interdisciplinary integration in literature classes, contains speculations regarding increasing the effectiveness of literature classes on the basis of the knowledge acquired by students during the lessons of mother tongue, history, mathematics and geometry. Studying school subjects in such interrelation proves the vitality of these subjects to students, describes the importance of sciences in life, raises students’ interest in school subjects and forms their conscious attitude towards learning. Mastering one subject via another one triggers students’ interest in this subject and proves the wrongness of sorting school subjects into “boring” and “interesting” ones, “necessary” and “unnecessary” ones. The most important point is that in the process of such learning schoolchildren really begin to realize the unity which exists among sciences as well the unity of the world and the laws by which it is ruled.
