Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to emphasize the characteristics of the integration methods (theories) for the constructivist didactic interdisciplinary basic training of young professionals. The constructivist approach stimulates students to use active techniques (experiments, solving problems encountered every day) helping them to create new knowledge. It encourages knowledge of individual at first in a subjective manner by exploring the direct and mental processing of information, then through collaboration, it leads to negotiation and generalization of ideas. The constructivist approach plays an active role in building student’s understanding of information. It seeks to solve some of student learning problems, to carry forward human knowledge and to identify ways to improve school practice.
