The inclusion of students of a technical university in research as a pedagogical condition for the formation of their mathematical orientation

Abstract

Modern conditions for the development of society, modernization of production dictate the need to improve the quality of higher education, improve the professional training of students of a technical university, in particular, mathematical training as one of its aspects. Students’ mathematical orientation is a trend and a tool for students to solve professional tasks using mathematical methods based on mathematical training received at the university. At the same time, the analysis of the existing university practice indicates that not enough attention is paid to the formation of the mathematical orientation of students of a technical university in the process of training, it is formed unsystematically and incompletely. The inclusion of students of a technical university in research, interpreted as active, interested participation in it, is an important pedagogical condition for the formation of their mathematical orientation in the process of training. Moreover, pedagogical conditions are considered the totality of pedagogical impact measures and the possibilities of the material-spatial environment. In accordance with this, the objective of this study is the development and theoretical justification of this pedagogical condition. The solution of this task is implemented on the basis of the personal-activity and competency-based approaches, a number of scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, classification, the study of pedagogical experience. The inclusion of university students in research is one of the promising areas for improving mathematical training along with the development of effective methodological mechanisms for the implementation of this pedagogical condition.
