УДК 378.514 Preparation of Future Teachers of Mathematics for the Work to Develop Creative Abilities of Pupils

Abstract

The article deals with the influence of research activity in the process of studying the subject “Sums with Parameters” on the formation of readiness of future teachers of mathematics to teach mathematically gifted pupils. The article reveals some definite conditions of development and realization of creative thinking of both future teacher of mathematics and his future pupil on the examples of doing sums with parameters which were proposed during external independent assessment in mathematics. Two combined sums with their doings and corresponding methodical comments are demonstrated. The experience of work on the basis of this course gave the possibility to make a model of educational activity directed on doing equations, inequalities and systems with parameters. The authors have defined main perspective directions of research of problem of teaching gifted youth during lessons of mathematics and mathematics studying groups. The attention is concentrated on the importance of students' involvement into activity of creation of own sums with parameters. It should be noted that all these techniques are “discovered” by students each time as a result of compiling, formulating and solving relevant cognitive tasks. Research activity of students in the process of solving problems with parameters promotes the development of their independence, activity, creative abilities, which are important components of the professional competence of the mathematics teacher. In the future it is planned to involve students in creating their own tasks with parameters. The experience of such а creative activity can be successfully transferred to work with different categories of gifted students.
