THE VALUE-COMPETENT APPROACH IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS

Abstract

The article highlights the pedagogical expediency of using the value-competency approach in professional training of future mathematics teachers. The content of the concepts “competence”, “value-semantic competence”, “value-competence approach” is outlined. It is noted that the value-competency approach to the organization of the educational activities of future mathematics teachersensures unity in the formation of professional competences and life values (general cultural competences) of the students of education. It is indicated that the value-competency approach is focused on the formation of value-semantic competence, which is one of the key components of the readiness of future teachers for professional activity and is connected with a personʼs value orientations, his ability to see and understand the world around him, to navigate in it, to realize oneʼs role and purpose, to act creatively, to be able to choose target and meaning settings for oneʼs actions and deeds, to make decisions. It was established that the formation of value-semantic competence in future mathematics teachers in particular involves: the formation of an intellectual, spiritually developed personality; formation of oneʼs own value orientations regarding the future profession and field of activity; formation of patriotism; development of humanism and morality; development of independence, personal initiative; mastery of methods of self-determination in situations of choice based on one's own positions; fostering activity, the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for their consequences; fostering kindness and tolerance towards colleagues, students and their parents, the ability to work in a team; education of love for the teaching profession, etc.Among the innovative teaching methods that ensure the implementation of the value-competency approach in the professional training of future teachers of mathematics, the case method and the method of educational projects are defined. Keywords: future teachers of mathematics; competence; value-semantic competence; value-competence approach; value orientations; case method; method of educational projects; professional training of future teachers of mathematics.
