Mathematical education at Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University: history, achievements, and future prospects

Abstract

The study focuses on the advancement of mathematical education at Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University (KSPU). The research's goals and objectives include distinguishing and characterizing basic stages of formation and development of KSPU's mathematical education, informing about the current state of teaching, methodological, scientific, and research activity, and defining future prospects for developing the Department of Mathematics and Methods of its Teaching. The authors define stages of growing mathematical education at KSPU as eras of its 90-year development that are notable for distinct organizational and training techniques for Mathematics teachers. Teaching, research, and a life committed to people are factors that serve as the foundation for identifying basic stages in the growth of the Department of Mathematics. After analyzing information from the University archive, museum, and accessible personal data of Mathematics teachers - University teachers, graduates, and researchers - a special edition "Mathematical Education in Kryvyi Rih Pedagogical University: Personality Dimension" was issued to commemorate the Department of Mathematics' 90th anniversary. The information also includes their publications in the ORCID and Google Scholar databases, as well as the University repository. The basic stages of establishing mathematical education in the educational institution and its research tendencies are identified.
