Abstract

Against the backdrop of growing knowledge fragmentation in higher education, there is an urgent need to find points of intersection between various disciplines. This article attempts to substantiate the role of critical thinking not simply as a useful cognitive competence for students, but as a fundamental basis for developing a common language of academic communication. The author analyzes the methodological barriers hindering the creation of a unified epistemological space within the university. It is argued that implementing practices of critical analysis can shift disjointed pedagogical approaches towards genuine co-creation. Such a perspective allows for a fresh evaluation of the specifics of educators' professional reflection and outlines practical ways to overcome interdisciplinary disunity in the training of scientific personnel.
