PROPEDEUTICS OF STUDENTS’ PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES FORMATION IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 4 (26). P. 117-125

The issues of propaedeutics of the formation of professional competencies of students of secondary vocational educational organizations are considered. The concept of “propaedeutics” has been briefly characterized and clarified. The functions of propedeutics of the formation of professional competencies are determined. The study of mathematics by students of technical specialties should not only give intellectual development, but also carry a propaedeutic function for further education and the formation of professional competencies. The study and analysis of the pedagogical and methodical literature shows that the propaedeutic, integrative approach in professional training allows us to find a common platform of subject knowledge for the formation of common and professional competencies in students. The propaedeutic approach to teaching mathematics involves the deliberate inclusion of successive interdisciplinary links in the content of educational material. The propaedeutics of professional competencies’ formation can be implemented on the basis of project-research activities and the inclusion of professional-oriented tasks in the content of the educational general education discipline. This allows us to carry out the propaedeutics of the professional competencies’ formation, contributes to the revitalization of students’ cognitive activity and shows a sustained interest in the future profession. The article summarizes the results of testing the model for organizing design and research activities in the process of teaching mathematics with the aim of developing professional competence in propaedeutics and gives examples of research projects.

Keywords: propaedeutics, professional competencies, competence, secondary vocational education, mathematics, professional-oriented tasks, design and research activities

THE FORMATION OF UNIVERSAL COMPETENCIES IN THE PROCESS OF INTEGRATION OF THE DISCIPLINES OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 6 (28). P. 143-150

The issues of the formation of universal competencies of students of educational organizations of secondary vocational education are considered. The concept of “universal competencies” is briefly characterized and clarified. The results of testing the integration of the disciplines «Mathematics» and «Computer Science» are presented. Solving the problem of improving the quality of vocational education in the system of secondary vocational education actualize the issue of integration of disciplines, the formation of universal competencies at the stage of General education. The integration of disciplines makes it possible not only to optimize the educational process, but also to form universal competencies. The study and analysis of methodological and pedagogical literature shows that in the system of secondary vocational education an integrative approach allows finding a common platform of subject knowledge for the formation of universal, general and professional competencies among students. The formation of universal competencies can be implemented through the organization of integrated classes and design and research activities through the solution of professionally oriented tasks. The integration of disciplines contributes not only to the activation of cognitive activity of students, the manifestation of a steady interest in a future profession, but also the formation of universal and professional competencies. The article briefly describes the stages and mechanism of the project of integration of disciplines.
