PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE EDUCATIONAL DISCIPLINE «HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS» AS A PROPAEDEUTIC COURSE IN THE PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION SYSTEM OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS

Introduction. For successfully implement educational reforms, it is necessary for professionally prepare teachers for teaching at the New Ukrainian School. At the present stage of modernization of education, natural and mathematical subjects and specialties are in the priority, as well as the development of STEM-education. Therefore, the issue of the professional training of future mathematics teachers is very relevant. However, analysis of the actual state of the educational process in pedagogical universities of Ukraine shows that the historical and mathematical training of future teachers of mathematics are not complex. The reason for this can be underestimated the importance of the history of mathematics during the professional training of future teachers of mathematics. Purpose. To define the purpose and tasks of studying the discipline «History of Mathematics» as a propaedeutic course in the system of professional training of future teachers of mathematics. Methods. The theoretical methods – analysis, generalization and systematization of pedagogical experience and documentation were used to achieve the research goal. Results. Based on the analysis of theoretical and methodological literature on the training of future mathematics teachers based on the history of science and regulatory documents revealed a number of inconsistencies. There is a need for the formation of vital and professional competences for students and students of higher educational institutions and the insufficient quality of the use of historical and mathematical material during study. Between the need for the professional creation of educational and methodological support of the courses of historical and mathematical nature and the lack of level of historical and mathematical training of modern teachers. Between the need to conduct qualitative training for future teachers of mathematics on the basis of the principle of historicity at various levels of general and professional training and the existing experience of subject-based onestage training. These contradictions allowed formulating the research problem. They theoretically justify the expediency of studying the history of mathematics during the preparation of future mathematics teachers, starting with the propaedeutic phase. Originality. Having analyzed the definition of «propaedeutic», the purpose of appointing propaedeutic training courses in the system of vocational training of future teachers of mathematics is determined. They provide basic training for students to study subjects from the cycle of professional and practical training. To systematize and integrate previously obtained mathematical knowledge. The purpose of training «History of mathematics» as a propaedeutic course in the system of professional training of future teachers of mathematics is determined. 1. Formation of the general understanding of mathematics as a science in its historical development, propaedeutic historical and mathematical knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge in the study of mathematical and methodological subjects. 2. Formation of general and professional competences as the main results of the training of future teachers of mathematics. 3. Formation and development of positive motives of education, values and personality-professional abilities for effective future professional activity on the basis of constant self-improvement of personal and professional potential. Conclusion. Based on the above, we believe that the issue of improving the historical and mathematical preparation of future mathematics teachers is relevant. This process should be based on the principle of multilevel. This is a prerequisite for the qualitative acquisition of future mathematics teachers of historical and mathematical knowledge. It also increases the efficiency of forming their professional competencies.
