PROJECT METHODS FOR INITIATING MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF FUTURE TEACHERS IN PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL SPECIALTIES

Abstract

Problem formulation. The problem of improving the professional training of future teachers of physical and mathematical specialties, increasing the level of their competitiveness in the labor market should be solved by forming students' mathematical competence in various forms of educational activities. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility of using the project method in the study of mathematical analysis, description of various projects, in particular, and the features of the project activities of students with a workbook.

Materials and methods. Theoretical methods: systematic analysis of scientific, psychological and pedagogical, methodological literature; generalization and systematization. Empirical methods: questionnaires.

Results. At the beginning of the research, the difficulties that students of physics and mathematics faculties of pedagogical universities have in identifying mathematical analysis were identified, and the reasons for them were clarified. To overcome the identified problems, it was proposed to introduce the method of projects in the educational activities of students, in particular, a long-term educational project "Workbook", designed to study a separate section of mathematical analysis. The blocks of the workbook are educational tasks of the project type, and their consistent implementation is aimed at studying the relevant topic and the course as a whole. The purpose of such a project is to organize independent work of students and create conditions for the acquisition and deepening of mathematical knowledge, mastery of mathematical methods and understanding of their applied significance. The survey conducted upon completion of the project showed its feasibility and effectiveness for both classroom learning activities of students and during distance learning.

Conclusions. The expediency and efficiency of the project method in the formation of mathematical competence of future teachers of physical and mathematical specialties has been confirmed. The proposed educational projects, in particular, the project "Workbook", correspond to the level of intellectual abilities and creative thinking of students, the ability to independently construct their knowledge using information resources.
