This article discusses the development of foreign language and science teaching methods, as well as the growing demand and skills of students as a result of the integration of these disciplines. One of the most important factors is to further enhance the role of communicative concepts in students and to develop such concepts in them.

This article is devoted to the ways and means of establishing interdisciplinary communication between biology and natural sciences. The main purpose of the research is to explore ways to properly establish interdisciplinary communication in the learning process, as well as in the teaching of biology. In the field of integration in education, it is impossible to achieve success in teaching different subjects, especially without the use of interdisciplinary communication. Integration has become one of the main principles of training in modern period, as well as the basis of the educational process. Teaching subjects at a coherent pace will increase the effectiveness of the perceptual process, as well as accelerate the formation of motivation in the learning process. Teaching biology in conjunction with other natural sciences will help students to form a correct worldview, as well as create a complete and holistic view of the world. However, special attention should be paid to the establishment of interdisciplinary communication in accordance with the age and individual characteristics of students. For this, the right forms and methods must be used. The article provides information about these forms and methods, the mechanisms of their use. It is especially important to establish interdisciplinary links, as well as the form in which they are organized to increase the effectiveness of training. Form means the outward expression of the organized activity. Forms of work organized individually, in groups, in groups and in pairs are used during active learning. Depending on the level of difficulty of the topic and the interdisciplinary relationship created, as well as the age and perceptual characteristics of students, the forms of work should be chosen by the teacher at the stage of lesson planning. In addition, the use of teaching methods in establishing interdisciplinary links is of particular importance. The use of these teaching methods will be of particular importance in the formation of logical, creative, critical thinking in students. Teaching methods include both traditionally used oral, visual, and practical methods, as well as active learning methods used in modern education. Also, the organization of out of class, out of lesson activities and nature excursions is one of the main ways to establish interdisciplinary communication. It is known that it is impossible to fully establish the connection between biology and other natural sciences in the teaching process. The best way to deal with this problem is to turn to out of lesson, out of class activities. Significance Application: Can be used to properly organize interdisciplinary communication in biology classes in secondary schools. Keywords: Integration, training, biology, interdisciplinary communication, method

Karolina Widerström and Animal Dissection in Swedish Schools 1900–1920. This article examines the attempts to introduce dissections of small animals in Swedish primary schools and secondary girls’ schools during the early twentieth century. It demonstrates that the new teaching methods were a part of a further ambition to transform the pupil’s relationship to nature and how teachers taught the natural sciences. Knowledge of the human body was emphasised and produced in analogy with other species, leaving none of the body’s organs or basic functions outside the curriculum. One of the strongest voices in this process was the Swedish physician Karolina Widerström (1856–1948). Through hers—but also others—engagement in annual training courses in basic dissection techniques for female teachers and the production of wildly distributed illustrated dissection manuals, extensive effort was made to change the pupil’s understanding of nature in general as well as their own bodies including the fundamental principles of human reproduction.

School science subjects may be informed by curriculum ideologies such as discipline-centered, service-centered, student-centered, or citizen-centered ideologies. The distinct characteristics of each ideology complicate the extent to which science subjects could integrate different curriculum ideologies. Consequently, the present research explored how different curriculum ideologies are reflected in a school science subject. Natural Sciences was used as a case study that followed a mixed-methods approach. Inductive content analysis was performed on the curriculum document to determine its foregrounding curriculum ideologies using a validated open-ended instrument. Findings indicate that Natural Sciences integrates four curriculum ideologies concurrently. These are the student-centered ideology, service-centered ideology, discipline-centered ideology, and citizenship-centered ideology. However, while attempting to adopt multi-curriculum ideologies, the subject could not ensure equal representation of these ideologies. For example, citizenship-centered ideology received the least representation even though it is the ideology most related to the imperatives of social empowerment. It is concluded that the integration of different ideologies may lead to teaching difficulties where teachers find it challenging to adapt teaching methods that satisfy all four curriculum ideologies. Additionally, students in different schools may be taught according to different curriculum ideology principles, leading to inconsistencies in attained learning outcomes.

Teaching methods based on inquiry are more and more widely used in teaching natural sciences. In accordance with the new curriculum, introduced to Polish schools in 2008, students should gain new knowledge based on an inquiry. This fact is related to a change of teachers’ approach in the didactic process and a change in the assessment system. This article undertakes an attempt to analyse how a teacher - who has theoretical knowledge in the field of IBSE teaching methods and evaluating students working in this manner - does the said in practice at the level of lower secondary school, during chemistry classes. The presented case study is based on didactic materials developed at the SAILS project. Key words: formative assessment, IBSE, case study, polymers.
