Abstract

This research proposes theoretical and methodological recommendations that would develop search and research skills applied by prospective math teachers while teaching a course on mathematical physics equations. The research findings include the first-ever attempt to set up and solve the challenge of developing students’ search and research skills when being taught a course on mathematical physics equations through a specially developed methodology. The authors propose a structural content model of search and research skills, and define the types of mathematical problems that facilitate the development of search and research skills used by prospective math teachers when teaching a course on mathematical physics equations.

Highlights

The relevance of this study stems from the fact that when doing a course on mathematical physics equations, most Math students encounter a number of logical challenges related to the very nature of this subject
This occurs due to the insufficient mastery of skills necessary for this type of learning. This results in a contradiction that has formed in students training: on the one hand, university staff should come up with the theoretical and methodological basis for managing the search and research activities of prospective math teachers when they take a course on in mathematical physics equations and the insufficiently developed theory, methodology and challenges related to this; on the other hand, prospective math teachers should be able to apply search and research skills when studying at university, and in further work in education, which necessitates the use of productive methods of instruction
The authors propose educational tools facilitating the development of search and research skills of prospective math teachers when they take a course of mathematical physics equations

Summary

Introduction

The relevance of this study stems from the fact that when doing a course on mathematical physics equations, most Math students encounter a number of logical challenges related to the very nature of this subject. This occurs due to the insufficient mastery of skills necessary for this type of learning. The authors created an elective course “Methodology of managing students’ search and research skills in the mathematical physics equations course” which acts as a link between students’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills
