У статті висвітлено види міжпредметних зв’язків, які реалізуються у процесі навчання елементарної математики за умови систематичного використання програмних засобів навчального призначення, та вплив реалізації цих зв’язків на формування фахової компетентності майбутніх учителів математики. Розглянуто конкретні приклади використання стандартних офісних програм та програмних засобів під час вивчення теми «Рівняння і нерівності». Наведені результати анкетування, проведеного серед викладачів навчальної дисципліни «Елементарна математика» у педагогічних ВНЗ України та студентів спеціальності 6.040201 Математика.
Problem. The use of software during the study of the subject «Elementary Mathematics» allows you to solve a number of typical tasks (constructing schedules of functions, solving equations, inequalities, calculating expressions, constructing cross sections of polyhedra, etc.). However, the problem arises of the motivation of students to self-mastery of software tools, which is an additional work for students. In our opinion, one of the ways of solving this issue is the realization of interdisciplinary links of Elementary Mathematics with Computer Science during classroom, individual and self-study work of students.
Purpose. To give examples of the of elementary mathematics and informatics interdisciplinary links implementing in the process of intending teachers of mathematics training.
Research methods. Analysis of educational and methodical literature, observation of the educational process, conversation, questioning of students and teachers.
Main results of the study. The article highlights the results of the questionnaire conducted during the year of 2017 among the teachers of the subject «Elementary Mathematics» of the pedagogical universities of Ukraine and students of the specialty 6.040201 Mathematics.
Specific examples of the use of standard office programs and software tools while studying the topic «Equation and inequality» are considered. There are given the examples of use of Gran programs (checking the correctness of the found roots of the irrational equation), Geogebra (graphic solution of the transcendental equation), Excel (checking the found roots of the index equation with the parameter), Power Point (demonstration of the portrait of the scientist and author's solution to one of the historical tasks) )
The author of the article reveals the types of interdisciplinary links (preliminary, concomitant, perspective) that are realized in the process of teaching elementary mathematics, provided systematic use of educational software, and the influence of the implementation of these links on the formation of professional competence of the intending mathematics teacher.
Scientific novelty of the research results. The level of realization of interdisciplinary links of elementary mathematics with other subjects in pedagogical higher educational institutions of Ukraine is determined; the attitude of teachers and students towards the use of software tools at the lessons on elementary mathematics is determined; the examples and recommendations for the use of educational assignments are given.
Conclusions. Studying the subject «Elementary Mathematics» when the interdisciplinary links with Computer Science are realized provides for: increasing the interest of students to study the subject; informational culture forming; individual opportunities of each student developing; mental activity activating; students' creative thinking developing. The further direction of work is to improve the methodological support of Elementary Mathematics for the systematic implementation of interdisciplinary links with related subjects in the educational process.
