Математична компетентність майбутнього інженера: аналіз феномену

Abstract

In the article the definition of " mathematical competence " as one of the essential characteristics of the individual. This notion of "mathematical competence" at the present stage of development and pedagogy defined as a key , and as an object - the specific abilities required to perform a particular action in a particular subject area based on highly specialized knowledge , subject skills and ways of thinking. Just consider the pedagogical aspects of the formation of mathematical competence of the future engineer in the higher technical school. It should be noted that the place of mathematics in the sciences determines its place in education. According to the author , it is not only a support tool for solving a particular problem , and above all, common cultural base for the assimilation of the principles and structures that form the basis of disciplines. Education should be focused on education of mathematical thinking , which in its developed form, refers to the ability to create mathematical structure , the ability to analyze their properties , as well as to interpret the results of the analysis . At the same time we should not forget about the development of students' autonomy as a factor in the formation of mathematical competence of the future engineer , his ability and willingness to use mathematical modes of thought. Analyzed the basic views of domestic and foreign scholars , which is formulated on the basis of definition of " mathematical competence of the future engineer " as integrable quality person ready to apply the acquired knowledge for life and skills for solving the widest possible range of life problems in various areas . According to the author , this concept reflects the level of basic mathematical techniques required for analysis and modeling of processes and phenomena , the search for optimal solutions to improve production efficiency and choice of the best ways to implement these solutions , processing and analysis of experimental results .
