ACADEMIC TEXTS REPOSITORY

Summary

The article addresses the issue of utilizing interdisciplinary connections between physics and Ukrainian literature to develop competencies in the fields of natural sciences, engineering, and technology. Researchers have found that to develop these competencies, tasks based on materials from natural sciences, mathematics, and health education are often used, while subjects like language and literature, civics and history, and technology are typically not included. However, for students with strengths in literature, language, and history, such tasks would be beneficial. Scientific publications exploring the use of connections between physics and Ukrainian literature have been analyzed, demonstrating that it is advisable to develop interdisciplinary tasks based on literary texts to organize students' research and project activities, qualitative problems, and more. The components of competence in the fields of natural sciences, engineering, and technology, as defined by current regulatory documents, have been studied. Based on the analysis of their content, it has been determined that the proposed tasks will be effective in improving the ability to characterize, explain, and describe natural phenomena and technological processes using the language of natural sciences and scientific terminology, as well as in fostering an emotional and value-based perception of nature. This is because in literary works, students have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with and discuss various forms of human interaction with the environment. Taking into account the content of the curricula in physics and Ukrainian literature, excerpts from literary works suitable for use in the 7th-grade physics educational process have been proposed, including an example task based on an excerpt from Ivan Franko’s story «Zakhar Berkut». A list of literary works studied in 7th-grade Ukrainian literature classes has been provided. This will guide physics teachers toward works that are appropriate to reference during specific topics.
