Abstract:
The development of soft skills is important for the formation of a modern specialist, which makes the
teaching of these skills relevant in the course of education. The purpose of the article is to study an
interdisciplinary approach to the development of Soft Skills in the educational process through the prism of the
study of the integration of knowledge and skills. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to use the methods of content
analysis of scientific literature. The scientometric databases Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science were
used to prepare the article. The search covered the period from 2016 to 2023, without regional restrictions. The
choice of sources was based on their relevance to the consideration of an interdisciplinary approach and the
integration of knowledge and skills in the educational process. The results indicate that the integration of
knowledge and skills within an interdisciplinary approach emphasises the uniqueness of educational scenarios
and contributes to broadening students' perspectives by developing a comprehensive approach to solving problems
and challenges. The interdisciplinary approach to the development of Soft Skills emphasises the importance of
cooperation between specialists from different fields, creating a learning environment that actively develops not
only theoretical knowledge but also the skills necessary for success in various spheres of life and professional
activity. In the context of the digital transformation of learning and soft skills development, the use of an
interdisciplinary approach and the integration of structural and logical links, including educational platforms and
participation in research and creative initiatives, is appropriate. The conclusions recommend supplementing study
programmes with information about online courses, considering digital educational platforms.
