Abstract
The article emphasizes the approaches of involving the scientific heritage of scientists in the study of school geography courses, the integration of the educational process in view of the implementation of the requirements of the State Standard of Complete General Secondary Education 2020 regarding the formation of key competencies, in particular in the field of natural sciences, techniques and technologies. Attention is focused on the ambiguity of determining the place of geography as an integrative discipline in the scientific structure. The importance of addressing science as a sphere of human activity and its creators in the process of learning geography is emphasized. The integration potential of A. Humboldt’s scientific heritage in modern scientific and educational contexts is analyzed. Attention is focused on the key concepts of A. Humboldt, in particular the awareness of «nature as a whole», «the relationship between man and nature». It is noted that A. Humboldt, having acquired deep knowledge of specific natural sciences, considered their integration for the sake of an objective representation of reality as the task of his later life, which he later highlighted in his most outstanding works «Pictures of Nature» and «Cosmos», which can be the subject of attention for use in the modern educational process at school. It has been revealed how the outstanding scientist acquired the sciences, how he integrated this knowledge through exploring both the New and the Old World, and how his life, along with his scientific legacy, should be studied by future generations in order to achieve meaningful results for both himself and entire nations. It is emphasized that the implementation of scientific heritage in school geography requires the attention of subject didactics, in particular, the determination of the place in its content, the search for methods of forming methodological knowledge and skills as components of scientific education. The impact of the use of scientific primary sources on the effectiveness of student learning is investigated. It is concluded that the use of integration potential in modern educational programs and research initiatives should contribute to the formation of systemic, geographical, critical thinking of education seekers. The areas of involvement of the integration potential of the scientific heritage of scientists in geography and other general secondary education courses are identified.
