Integrative-Culturological Approach as A Means of Forming A Holistic Picture of The World in Primary School Children

The modern school is designed to cultivate a holistic worldview in primary school students, in which the facts of natural science are intertwined with cultural values and traditions. Educational documents emphasize that one of the fundamental tasks of the school is to form a view of the world in students as a single, interconnected whole. However, pedagogical theory has not yet clearly defined the content and methods for forming this holistic picture of the world, especially in primary school. There is a contradiction between the high significance of the task and the insufficient solution to it in practice. Therefore, the development of an integrative-cultural approach to teaching natural science seems relevant, which would allow linking scientific knowledge about nature with cultural meanings and values.
