It responds to the observed renaissance of nonfiction in contemporary book culture among students, exploring the historical development of nonfiction features contrasted with fiction and analyzing this trend from a culturological perspective.</p> <p><bold>Purpose.</bold> The research aims to outline the major benefits of integrating nonfiction literature into academic curricula, focusing on nonfiction's unique capacity to engage students with real-world issues, strengthen critical thinking, and foster a deeper appreciation of diverse perspectives. It also demonstrates how nonfiction writings integrate academic learning into real-life contexts.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> The research is grounded on a mixed-method approach within a descriptive survey design, consenting to gather data from 208 undergraduate students through structured and open-ended questionnaires. This methodology allowed for in-depth exploration of students’ experiences with nonfiction reading and its educational impacts.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> The findings specify that exploring nonfiction contributes significantly to developing essential academic and career-related competencies. The study also emphasizes nonfiction’s positive role in enhancing critical-analytical thinking and inquiry abilities. Based on these outcomes, the research proposes practical teaching strategies to effectively integrate nonfiction reading and writing in undergraduate courses, aiming to foster an environment of lifelong learning, intellectual curiosity, and informed citizenship in a complex modern world.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Объектом исследования является демонстрация значительных преимуществ интеграции опыта обучения грамотности на основе нехудожественной литературы в программы средней школы и бакалавриата высшего образования. Эмпирическое исследование предлагает всесторонний культурологический анализ возрождения жанра научной литературы в современной книжной культуре студентов, рассматривая причины этого явления и прослеживая истоки и историческое развитие нехудожественных элементов в отличие от художественной литературы.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> – выявить ключевые преимущества внедрения научно-популярной литературы в образовательный процесс, подчеркивая её способность вовлекать студентов в обсуждение реальных проблем, развивать критическое мышление и способствовать глубокому пониманию различных точек зрения. Исследование также преследует задачу показать, как научно-популярные тексты могут служить мощными инструментами обучения, обеспечивая значимые связи между академическими занятиями студентов и их реальной жизнью.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы. </bold>Для достижения целей исследования использовался смешанный подход с описательным дизайном опроса. Данные собирались от 208 студентов с помощью структурированных и открытых вопросов, что позволило всесторонне исследовать опыт чтения научно-популярной литературы и её образовательное значение.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Полученные данные продемонстрировали положительное влияние чтения научной литературы на развитие ключевых навыков, важных для успешного обучения и готовности к будущей профессиональной деятельности. Исследование подчеркнуло значимую роль научно-популярных текстов в формировании навыков критического анализа и исследовательского мышления. На основе результатов предложены практические рекомендации по интеграции чтения и письма научно-популярных текстов в формировании навыков критического анализа и исследовательского мышления. На основе результатов предложены практические рекомендации по интеграции чтения и письма научно-популярной литературы в учебные программы, что способствует созданию среды, поддерживающей исследовательскую активность, критический анализ и любовь к чтению на протяжении всей жизни.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>nonfiction</kwd><kwd>documentary prose</kwd><kwd>critical thinking</kwd><kwd>undergraduate curriculum</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>научная литература</kwd><kwd>документальная проза</kwd><kwd>критическое мышление</kwd><kwd>учебная программа бакалавриата</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Blachowicz, C., &amp; Ogle, D.
