SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PRECONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION COMPETITIVENESS OF FUTURE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS

Abstract

New socio-economic and political conditions that have been forming in Ukraine in recent years, European integration processes cause an increase in the requirements for the professional training of future specialists who are competitive in the global labor market. Competitiveness is understood as a set of superiorities, manifested in the unique abilities of a modern specialist. Competitiveness is an indicator of successful professional activity, the ability to be more in demand compared to others due to many qualities that determine a high level of professionalism in their field. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the socio-pedagogical preconditions for the formation of the competitiveness of future teachers of mathematics. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, systematization (to understand the key concepts of the study), generalization (to form author's conclusions). We identify four groups of socio-pedagogical preconditions for the formation of the competitiveness of future mathematics teachers. The first group is associated with changing the paradigm of education, the formation of a new concept of education that meets the needs of the individual, and dynamic society in the context of the introduction of innovative learning technologies. The second group is due to the peculiarities of the development of the information society: an increase in the volume of information produced, an increase in information consumption, and the development of new information technologies. The third group of preconditions is related to the integration processes of education: the development of a system of continuous education, the continuity of levels of education, the modernization of the educational process, and academic disciplines. The fourth group is caused by problems with the quality of education: an increase in the requirements for the level of professionalism of teachers, a change in the expectations placed on the education system, and the expansion of the educational opportunities of the individual. We have established that an important direction in improving the quality of education is to improve the mathematical education of young people.
