Abstract
Actual directions of improvement of mathematical knowledge of students in the system of permanent professional education
Incoming article date: 04.12.2013The analysis of causes of insufficient quality mathematical knowledge of students of technical colleges. There are formulated some problems which must be solved for the improvement of the quality of fundamental mathematical education in a technical university. It is introduced a notion of the system of adaptation of the first year students for studying high mathematical course. Elements of the realization of the adaptation system are described and main goals of this system are formulated. It is defined a technology of professional directionality of education in the fundamental mathematical preparation in colleges. It is described a content of the technology of the professional directionality of teaching mathematics which consists of regular demonstration of tasks, examples and models connected with the future professional work of students. It is given some results of the experiment of using in some colleges the technology of the professional directionality in mathematical education. It is analized the results of surveys on different steps of using the system of the professional directionality of education which are devoted to the level of students motivation to study high mathematics. It is supposed to involve undergraduate student into research projects in mathematics as one of the directions to improve fundamental mathematical education.
Keywords: fundamental mathematical education, system of student adaptation, technology of professional directionality of education
