Abstract: This article examines the pedagogical principles of integrated education as a holistic approach to the organization of the modern educational process. The theoretical foundations of integration in teaching and learning are analyzed, with particular attention paid to the principles of interdisciplinarity, the holistic perception of knowledge, student-centeredness, and the unity of theory and practice. The role of integrated education in developing learners’ critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and transferable competencies essential for the twenty-first century is emphasized. It is argued that the consistent implementation of integrative pedagogical principles transforms the educational process from a fragmented transmission of disciplinary content into a coherent system that fosters the comprehensive development of the learner’s personality.
