This article presents the process and impacts of interdisciplinary approach to education of students of arts. The project has been implemented during 2017/18 as Summer Art School (Let- nja umetnička škola) of the University of Arts in Belgrade. Starting from the idea of a holistic approach in education, the concept of the school was based on interdisciplinary teaching and connected art, science and technology. It was implemented as a type of educational experiment, which was conducted in specific conditions and methodically designed the way that the focus was on the synergistic action of various formal as well as implicit stimulating factors in the teaching process. The main goal of the Program was to apply those methodological approaches for supporting and up-grading the performance of students, especially in terms of developing cognitive and creative potentials and intrinsic motivation. In accordance with the basic idea of integrative teaching and interdisciplinary competences, the findings of quantum physics have been used as initial problem material for discussion and analysis. The program was attended by 22 students from four faculties of the University of Arts in Belgrade and seven university professors in the role of teachers-mentors (workshop leaders) who implemented the contents, methods and activities defined by the program. Project was placed in the Research Center Petnica in Valjevo. During the implementation of the project, various elements were observed, such as students attitudes toward the program and its effects, toward workshop leaders and working atmosphere and toward personal artistic development. Comparisons between initial and final phases showed that students noticed some positive qualitative changes as results of the project activities. In the last phase of the Program, an evaluation was conducted through a survey which examined the attitudes of students about the concept of the program and the conditions in which the program was implemented. According to the respondents, this form of integrative teaching, methodical approach of teachers and stimulating environment, appeared as an incentive for students. Regarding their learning, motivation and development of ideas, they unanimously report positive impacts on their creative production. Some of the most important issues reported by students were: they find initial learning material (findings of quantum theory by David Bohm) as very inspiring; methodological approach and team work have been recognized as important; research centre and it’s capacities have been seen as motivating; integrative workshops, psychological work and friendly atmosphere allowed deeper and more productive art work; the interrelation between art, science and technology appeared as stimulating field for exploration; concept of the project allowed broad and inte- grative ideas to appear; the teaching process has been perceived as very well organized and stimulating. In general, students opinions confirm that this educational concept is more than welcomed in the field of high art education, and is in a functional and conceptual sense, inher- ent to the needs and challenges of contemporary society.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.
