Abstract
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of teaching the integrated course «I Explore the World» in the New Ukrainian School. It is noted that the course «I Explore the World» combines the educational content of several educational areas. According to the typical NUS 1 curriculum, there are three such areas: natural science, civic and historical, social and health education. According to the typical educational programme of NUS 2, there are seven such branches: linguistic and literary, mathematical, natural, technological, social and health, civic and historical, and informatics.
It is noted that the main educational field in the integrated course «I Explore the World» is the natural education field. The natural education field is harmoniously integrated with almost all educational fields defined in the State Standard of Primary Education, because nature is one of the most valuable factors in the mental, patriotic, labour, aesthetic development of a child’s personality.
The peculiarities of teaching the integrated course «I Explore the World» lie in the didactic and methodological organisation of learning, namely in its connection with life, with the practice of applying the acquired ideas, knowledge, and behavioural skills in life situations. The very name of the course orientates the teacher to the organisation of students’ research activities.
Keywords: integration, integrated learning, primary school, New Ukrainian School, integrated course «I Explore the World».
