Abstract

The present article deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of interdisciplinary integration in the teaching of biological chemistry. The mechanism of implementation of subject-oriented learning within the frame work of interdisciplinary vertical integration on the example of the topic “Introduction to the metabolism and energy” is considered. Specific ways to improve the effectiveness of teaching biochemistry through cross-curricular communication are suggested.

The implementation of the principles of interdisciplinary integration during lectures requires the teacher of deep knowledge not only of his subject, but also of many other basic disciplines, including subjects of professional preparation of students-pharmacists. It is extremely important to strike the right balance between the subject matter taught during the lecture and the related topics or courses. The use of principles of interdisciplinary integration in the study of biological chemistry contributes to the increase of students’ motivation, that is the awareness of the practical importance of educational material and acquired competences in their future professional activity.
