The article substantiates and describes the foundations of the interdisciplinary approach, which has become the defining direction in many branches of modern science. The importance of interdisciplinarity is noted as a principle that ensures a comprehensive analysis of the problem and guarantees the possibility of taking into account the maximum number of its components. Particular attention is paid to reflecting interdisciplinarity in modern state documents of the Russian Federation, in state strategies for the develop-ment of science and technology. It has been revealed that in the context of globalization of the socio-economic space, interdisciplinarity becomes multidisciplinarity, connecting the results of disciplinary research and allowing scientists to expand the range of their re-search and find new characteristics of the subject areas under study. A conclusion is made about the promise and importance of multidisciplinary research conducted in various branches of modern Russian science, and therefore the problem of the spontaneous na-ture of this research is raised and the need for further understanding of the essence and methods of multidisciplinary scientific research is revealed.

The relevance of the research is linked with the modern labor market demand for highly qualified specialists, which implies the introduction of new approaches at the university. The approaches are aimed at developing professional competences through the introduction of new forms of foreign language learning. The author attempts to introduce practice-oriented cases in English classes into the interim assessment procedure at the university. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate, implement and experimentally verify the results of the work of the fourth-year International Relations students through the implementation of the case study method – from seminars to interim assessment procedure in English. The research is based on a competence-based approach and the methods: theoretical analysis of scientific and educational literature, study and synthesis of pedagogical experience, pedagogical experiment. 49 fourth-year International Relations students participated in the experiment. The article attaches particular importance to the case study method as an effective teaching tool for International Relations students aimed at developing critical thinking and the ability to creatively and effectively solve complex and critical situations based on meta-subject links. According to the research results, the integration of cases into the speaking component of the interim assessment procedure allows considering the ability of students to effectively make decisions, the ability to use professionally oriented vocabulary and demonstrate meta-subject links. Despite the positive aspects of the research, difficulties due to the lack of practical experience in solving cases have been identified, requiring the development of methodological recommendations for lecturers to prepare students for the exam. The theoretical significance of the article underlies the review of various interpretations of the concept "case study method", the development of practice-oriented cases in English and criteria for evaluating the results of solving cases among International Relations students. The practical significance is characterised by the introduction of practice-oriented cases in the English language in the interim assessment procedure in English for International Relations students and the generalization of the results. The author believes that the integration of the case study method into the interim assessment procedure demonstrates an indicator of students' readiness to solve situations in crisis and business conflicts, the development of professional competences, and the ability to cooperate with business partners.

the article deals with the problem of insufficient development of methodological and didactic materials aimed at developing the natural science functional literacy of schoolchildren in the framework of teaching physics. Special attention is paid to the practical example of STEAM tasks that develop students' skills in critical thinking, creativity, data interpretation and the application of knowledge in real-life situations. The research results are intended for physics teachers and methodologists interested in modernizing the educational process and creating modern educational materials.

The article reveals the essence of managing students' health preservation in the context of extracurricular activities and describes its legal framework. It presents a model of this management as a holistic system that combines the goal, objectives, principles, components, key areas of implementation, actors, resources, and expected outcomes. The core of this model is the integration of health-preserving practices into the content and forms of extracurricular activities.

This article analyzes the methodological, didactic, and cognitive foundations of the STEM approach in the context of preparing schoolchildren for the professions of the future. The integration of mathematics and computer science is considered a key core of STEM education, fostering algorithmic, systems, and engineering thinking.
