Preparation of bachelors for professionally oriented teaching of mathematics to schoolchildren at a pedagogical university

Abstract

Relevance. In accordance with the requirements of modern society, it has become necessary to change approaches to teaching in pedagogical higher educational institutions. The problem of preparing bachelors in the speciality �Mathematics� for professionally oriented teaching of mathematical disciplines to schoolchildren is becoming urgent.Purpose. The purpose of this study is to identify methods and forms of professionally oriented mathematics teaching in the educational process of pedagogical higher educational institutions.Methodology. Methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, pedagogical observation, interviews, and questionnaires were used to achieve the goal.Results. During the study, it was established that the method of mathematical modelling can be the basis for professionally oriented teaching of mathematics, and the use of modern technologies can improve the educational process. A survey was conducted among students of the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, A. Baitursynov Kostanay Regional University, Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University to determine the relevant problems in the preparation of bachelors of the speciality �Mathematics�. Based on the results obtained, a model of bachelor�s degree preparation for professional activity and professionally oriented education of schoolchildren was built, the effectiveness of which was tested.Conclusions. The results of the study demonstrated that the method of mathematical modelling is effective in preparing students for professionally oriented teaching of schoolchildren and the formation of their mathematical literacy. In addition, after introducing the proposed model into the educational process, students� readiness for professional activity and professionally oriented training increased by 19%, demonstrating its positive impact on the preparation of bachelors. The results of this study can be used by the management of pedagogical higher educational institutions and teachers to improve the educational process and effectively form the professional competencies of future specialists.
