FORMATION OF STUDENTS' WORLVIEW CULTURE IN THE PROCESS OF STUDYING INTEGRATED CULTURAL DISCIPLINES: METHODOLOGICAL METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS

Abstract

The formation of a young person's worldview is one of the main tasks of modern education. It is the worldview culture that is of decisive importance, since it ensures the development of a holistic personality, capable of critical thinking, a conscious attitude towards the world around them and towards themselves based on universal and national values. The aim of the research is to develop and scientifically substantiate methodological and didactic approaches to the formation of worldview culture in higher education students through the acquisition of integrated cultural studies educational components. The research methodology is based on didactic principles regarding the systematic study of academic disciplines as a necessary condition for a holistic process of knowledge acquisition. The study also relies on philosophical concepts of worldview culture. The main research methods included theoretical ones (analysis and comparative study of philosophical, sociological, cultural, psychological, and pedagogical scholarly literature on the research topic; comparative analysis of educational and methodological documentation, theoretical and empirical sources; analytical- synthetic processing of research results in conjunction with the principles of the historical approach; generalization method, etc.) and empirical ones (interviews, surveys, observation). Scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time, conceptual, methodological, and didactic approaches to defining the essence, content, and key directions of teaching cultural studies disciplines have become the subject of a comprehensive scholarly investigation. Based on an analysis of integrative, humanistic, and cultural factors influencing the worldview culture of youth in the learning process, and generalization of relevant pedagogical experience, recommendations have been developed regarding teaching methods for cultural studies educational components. Conclusions. An important means of forming a scientific worldview and worldview culture in students is the implementation of integrated cultural studies educational components, which contribute to the development of a holistic understanding of the human being, their place and role in society, the natural environment, and the virtual dimension of modern media culture. It is substantiated that integrated cultural studies educational components are essential for building a renewed system of national education in Ukraine. The integration of the content of cultural studies education is part of broader social and pedagogical challenges, such as the humanization and universalization of education, the formation of cultural identity, patriotism, active citizenship, critical thinking, and resilience in the face of tragic challenges and uncertainty.
