Організація самостійної роботи студентів-екологів при вивченні «вищої математики»

Abstract

У статті проаналізовано теоретичні аспекти і роль самостійної роботи студентів як виду навчальної діяльності. Визначено основні проблеми, що виникають під час самостійної роботи студентів спеціальності «Екологія» при вивченні дисципліни «Вища математика». Запропоновано практичні рекомендації щодо покращення організації самостійної діяльності майбутніх екологів. Зазначено, що ефективним засобом підвищення ефективності самостійної роботи студентів у процесі математичної підготовки є розв’язування прикладних задач професійного змісту. Наведено приклади таких задач.

Theoretical aspects and the role of independent work of ecology students who study higher mathematics are analyzed in this article. It has been found out that independent work is a specific type of study, the main purpose of it is to form the autonomy of the individual being trained. Independent work develops: the skills of independent learning and rational forms of memorization, volitional efforts and self-control skills. According to the results of the study, it is shown that the freshman student is not ready for the large, in comparison to school, volume of independent work in the course of «Higher mathematics.» The factors indicating such unpreparedness include a low level of school mathematical preparation of students, lack of skills to work independently, low level of professional orientation of the personality – lack of steady interest in the chosen specialty, desire to realize themselves as professionals. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, a methodology for developing skills of independent work of students is developed, which includes: planning of independent work; informational and methodological support for the academic discipline; differentiated approach in the selection of tasks; studying the culture of math lessons and providing the necessary assistance to each student; constant control over the work of students. Independent work of ecologi students during the study of «Higher Mathematics» includes: the study of theoretical material (work on the abstract, recommended literature), preparation for practical classes, the implementation of individual homework, preparation for various types of control (modular control works, test control, mathematical dictation, score, exam), preparation for participation in the mathematical Olympiad. It is noted that the effective means of increasing the interest of students in the study of «Higher Mathematics» is the use of applied problems of professional content. These tasks positively influence the process of mastering knowledge by the students, activate their independent activity. Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of independent work of students, it is necessary to think thoroughly about its organization: the volume and content of educational material, which is put into independent studying of students, must be carefully thought out; It is important to hold consultations on discipline; Be sure to control the execution of tasks.
