Integration of Pedagogy and Engineering in a Modern School

Purpose of research. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the development of an integrated model of pedagogy and engineering in the educational space of the school. The relevance of the research at the socio-pedagogical level is related to the solution of key tasks of the state and the need of society for the training of engineering personnel, tools’ design for the development of scientific and technical creativity and research potential of schoolchildren, stimulating their motivation for engineering professions and the field of high technology. At the scientific and methodological level, the relevance of the research is determined by the need to develop and implement innovative teaching methods related to the synthesis of various academic subjects of the humanitarian cycle in conjunction with technical disciplines.

Materials and methods of research. To achieve this goal, an integrated approach to the analysis of integration processes in education is used. This approach is provided by a system of research methods: descriptive and analytical (analysis of sources on the research topic; generalization of psychological and pedagogical literature; interpretation of data), contextual analysis (identification of the meaning and function of a concept in a situational environment, surrounded by and interrelation with other elements) and empirical method (observation, study of products of activity, analysis of documentation).

The model of integration of pedagogy and engineering through modification of the content, forms, and technologies of educational activity helps to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge, establish deep connections between subjects, and allows participants of the educational process to accumulate technological and humanitarian knowledge, develop value orientations and cultural field of personality. 

Results. The essence of the integration of pedagogy and engineering in the educational space of a secondary school is revealed. Using the example of the activities of the educational institution “Integration” of the city of Tomsk, the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development and design of a new educational reality, actualizing the design of an effective model for the integration of pedagogy and engineering in the educational space of the school, are described. New forms of training using modern educational technologies are presented: from organizing spectacular, technically challenging competitions in robotics, teaching skills in designing, developing and operating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to methodological cases for training cultural leaders from among teachers and schoolchildren. The stages and phases of substantiating the concept of an integrative model based on a system analysis that ensures the feasibility of the model and the correlation of results are described in detail. Criteria and performance indexes of the model have been developed to ensure control and reliability of the results.

Conclusion. The application of the model of integration of pedagogy and engineering contributes to the formation of a motivating educational environment for professional and personal growth, development and self-realization of students and teachers. The implementation of interdisciplinary connections in the process of developing integrative training programs that include the latest technical achievements in dialogue with socio-humanitarian knowledge is relevant not only for schools, but also for universities, vocational secondary education, enterprises as a factor of continuity. It is advisable to extend the model of integration of pedagogy and engineering to educational organizations across Russia.
