THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF FORMATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE ECONOMISTS

Mathematical competence is part of professional competence, which plays an important role in the professional activity of students - future economists. That is purposeful formation of future professional economists professional mathematical competence will provide professional training that meet the modern requirements of society and production, promote their employment and career growth. Thanks to the basic criteria of formation of mathematical competence of the economist (cognitive-activity, motivational-value, emotional-volitional) provides an appropriate level of mathematical training required for further study of professional disciplines; actualization of professional orientation of mathematical training; the skills of independent research, the need for self-education; development of basic professional-oriented qualities needed in future professional activity. Professional orientation of mathematical training of future economists should provide an increase in the level of mathematical competence of students, recognizing the value of mathematics for future careers. To enhance the effectiveness of a professional orientation forming of mathematical competence of future economists are: - First, the solution of professionally oriented mathematical problems, combining theoretical and practical aspects of mathematical knowledge. Mathematical modeling, in turn, is a versatile tool as close as possible to the formulated objectives or goals the fastest way and at the lowest cost; - Secondly, the availability of the necessary information and methodological support of teaching of discipline “Higher and applied mathematics”, which makes it possible to illustrate the abstract properties of real processes and objects, to materialize their image in the minds of students, which in turn positively affects the quality of learning mathematical material; - Thirdly, the creation of a positive motivation when studying mathematics. Sustained positive motivation is the key to the effectiveness of the implementation of training activities, increases the quality level of mathematical knowledge makes them a valuable asset of individuals, which positively affects the process of formation of mathematical competence of future economists; - Fourthly, the use of pedagogical monitoring and pedagogical control over the quality of mastering mathematical knowledge of future economists in the process of professional training. So mathematical competence is the ability to see and apply mathematics in real life, to understand the content and the method of mathematical modeling, the ability to build a mathematical model, to investigate its methods of mathematics, to interpret the results.
