Приоритеты целей преподавания математики для различных УГН(С) (тезисы доклада)
Abstract. The research urgency is caused by necessity to build a clear hierarchy of objectives of teaching
mathematics for different groups of professions (technical, economic, humanitarian) in Universities.
Defining priorities allows focusing on the most important goals of teaching mathematics. In this regard,
this paper is focused on the calculation of numerical values of priorities of the following strategic objectives
in teaching mathematics: the formation of mathematical competences for the solution of professional tasks;
the formation of logical thinking; the education of mathematical culture in teaching mathematics. These
are the very goals which determine the mission of teaching mathematics in high school. A leading approach
to the study of such problems is a method of hierarchies’ analysis by Thomas Saaty which allows bringing
the qualitative (linguistic) expert assessment of the objectives’ importance into the quantitative values of
their priorities. The author organized the process of peer-review assessment of the objectives’ importance
in teaching mathematics and first got the numerical values of the priorities, showing the importance of each
of the objectives to achieve the goal of teaching mathematics in high school. The materials of the article
are of practical value for teachers of mathematics, heads of departments of mathematics and academic
managers in higher education institutions, since the hierarchy of objectives allows highlighting of the
most important ones in the development of curricula, programs of mathematical disciplines and teaching
methods.
