Abstract

This study explores the impact of interdisciplinary integration in chemistry education on the development of scientific competence among secondary school students. Despite the increasing emphasis on STEM education, there remains a knowledge gap in understanding how interdisciplinary approaches specifically enhance chemistry learning. Using a mixed-methods approach, including classroom observation and student assessments, the research investigates the effectiveness of integrating chemistry with subjects such as biology, physics, history, and geography. The findings reveal that students exposed to interdisciplinary teaching methods show improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a deeper understanding of chemical concepts. These results suggest that interdisciplinary integration not only fosters a more holistic educational experience but also enhances students' readiness for international scientific evaluations. The implications of this study advocate for broader adoption of integrated curricula in secondary education to better prepare students for the complexities of modern scientific challenges.
