IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTENT STANDARDS AND THE USE OF INTEGRATIVE APPROACHES IN TEACHING MATERIALS ABOUT THE PRIMITIVE COMMUNAL AND SLAVE-OWNING SYSTEMS IN THE 6TH GRADES OF GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS

Abstract. The article explores the role and importance of interdisciplinary integration in the teaching process under modern globalization. The author emphasizes that the isolation of school subjects leads to fragmentation in students’ worldview and decreases the effectiveness of education. Integrated lessons help ensure the holistic acquisition of knowledge and promote students’ creative and research-oriented activities. The paper outlines the main principles of integration, development of individual creativity, unity of educational content, associative connections, and the principle of innovation. Using the example of teaching Azerbaijani history in the 6th grade, the study demonstrates the practical application of these principles and highlights the benefits of interdisciplinary connections (particularly with general history, mathematics, and literature). The findings conclude that integrated lessons contribute to developing students’ systematic understanding of the world, analytical and creative thinking, and to the effective implementation of curriculum standards. This approach serves both cognitive and educational purposes, enhancing students’ motivation, creativity, and cooperation skills.
