Convergent Tasks As A Means Of Integrating Biological, Mathematical And Digital Knowledge: A Systematic Approach And Monitoring Of Achievements 1: NIS, Kazakhstan; 2: NIS; 3: NIS; 4: NIS In the context of the digital transformation of education, it is not only the transfer of knowledge that is critical, but also maintaining a high level of student engagement. The traditional subject-based approach often leads to a decline in learning motivation due to the lack of visible connections between disciplines. Convergent learning, which combines biology, mathematics and IT, offers a psycho-pedagogical solution to this situation by creating conditions for deep immersion in an interdisciplinary context. It is important to justify the system of convergent tasks as a tool for developing students' subjectivity and internal motivation in the modern digital environment through the mechanism of visualised monitoring. The study is based on a systematic approach and the psycho-pedagogical theory of self-determination (E. Deci, R. Ryan). The key method is the pedagogical design of a hybrid environment, where solving complex bio-mathematical problems is associated with the use of a digital progress tracker. The tracker is seen not as a control tool, but as a means of supporting student autonomy and competence. Convergent problems are a powerful trigger for cognitive interest: the need to use IT tools to solve biological problems transforms the learning task into a research project. The progress tracker acts as an external regulator, promoting the gradual internalisation of motivation: clear visualisation of achievements in a digital environment reduces academic anxiety and increases the “sense of flow”. Psycho-pedagogical effects of monitoring: regular feedback through the tracker increases student engagement, ensuring their active participation even when working with cognitively complex material. In the synthesis of cognitive (interdisciplinarity) and motivational (digital tracking) components within a single pedagogical model. The practical significance lies in the development of methodological tools that allow subject teachers not only to integrate knowledge, but also to manage the motivational climate in the modern learning environment, ensuring the steady progress of each student. | |
