Abstract
In this paper, the authors have identified the main features of constructing a theoretical model of the content part of the future mathematics teachers' training system in a pedagogical institution of higher education in Ukraine in the context of the implementation of the education model for sustainable development. In order to build such a model, the authors have organized a study in the form of an expert survey of specialists in the field of education, specialists in fundamental mathematical disciplines and in the methodic of teaching mathematics, master students, as well as mathematics teachers - participants in retraining courses. The authors have determined the discipline (methodic of teaching mathematics) which became the basis for the model of the content of the future mathematics teachers' training system in the context of the implementation of the education model for sustainable development. The above course in the content such choice has been confirmed by the integration properties and capabilities of the discipline, the potential of its substantive and methodological components for the generalization and systematization of mathematical, pedagogical, natural-scientific and humanitarian knowledge and skills, as well as for the formation of systemic thinking. When studying the issue including a special course in the content part of teacher staff training program, aimed directly at creating an understanding of a human's role and one's dependence on nature, at creating a peaceful and open society, where everyone would have equal rights and opportunities, the authors have distinguished disagreements in experts' opinions.
Highlights
The widespread recognition of education as the main factor in the transition to sustainable development has served a reason of education for sustainable development phenomenon emergence at the turn of the millennia
The statements provided by the examination participants for analysis were as follows: 1. In the context of the implementation of education for sustainable development, the methodic of teaching mathematics in the process of training mathematics teachers is an educational discipline that integrates the contents of mathematical disciplines, disciplines of the psychological and pedagogical cycle, disciplines of the natural science cycle and disciplines of the social and humanitarian cycle
The methodic of teaching mathematics is a discipline that generalizes and systematizes mathematical, pedagogical, natural-scientific and humanitarian knowledge and skills, forms systemic thinking and, as a result, ensures the acquisition of professional competencies in the context of the implementation of education model for sustainable development
Summary
The widespread recognition of education as the main factor in the transition to sustainable development has served a reason of education for sustainable development phenomenon emergence (hereinafter – ESD) at the turn of the millennia. The new civilization phenomenon has become a natural and logical development of the concept of sustainable development, proposed in 1987 by the International Commission on Environment and Development under the leadership of Gro Harlem Brundtland [21] and adopted at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro [22] as a global development strategy Despite the fact that the need to implement the principles of sustainable development in the education system, including pedagogical, is recognized at all levels, the overall progress in the field of teacher training for the implementation of ESD cannot be called significant
