Self-organization theory is an interdisciplinary scientific direction to
improve the quality of acquired knowledge and skills. The article aims to
study the development of interdisciplinary research activities among
students based on self-organization theory. The study was conducted using
an integrated approach, methods of analysis and synthesis, modeling,
pedagogical experiments, and mathematical statistics. An elective course,
“synergetic-interdisciplinary scientific theory”, and a model for preparing
students for interdisciplinary research activities were developed and
implemented. The knowledge and skills of 272 physics students in the
Republic of Kazakhstan universities in control and experimental groups
improved after the training. The knowledge highest level is observed among
the experimental group students while studying the natural experiments’
theoretical aspects necessary for researching the natural objects’
sustainability. Experimental group students demonstrated better results in
completing the task based on the acquired knowledge and skills. They rated
the education quality significantly better on a short educational assessment
scale. The results-developed course and the students’ preparing models for
interdisciplinary research can be used in advanced courses for different
specialties educators. Research perspectives could potentially contribute to
the development of integrated subjects and interdisciplinary programs in
natural sciences and humanities.
