Improving mathematics teaching in vocational education institutions through the application of competency tasks

The article deals with one of the ways to solve the problem of improving the quality of mathematics teaching in vocational education institutions. The analysis of the results of the implementation of the independent external evaluation tasks by the students of these educational institutions in 2019 shows the low level of mathematical preparation of the students of vocational education institutions. One of the important factors that underlies this problem is the low motivation of students in these institutions to study mathematics due to a lack of understanding of its role in future professional activity.

The author of other collective and creative team taught mathematical educational institutions of vocational education of Sumy region. PTNZ, which requires a profession based on the profession of food technology, construction, metalworking. Almost all cases are copyrighted.

The use of the proposed manual is aimed at motivating students of vocational education institutions to study mathematics through the applied orientation of the tasks; to increase the level of their mathematical preparation; on the formation and development of their mathematical culture. The experiment of introducing the manual or its fragments (according to the future specialty) into the practice of teaching students of vocational education institutions showed its effectiveness: there was an increase in motivation to study mathematics, students became more interested in studying theoretical material, showed a higher level of task fulfillment. The analysis of the results of the experiment shows that the availability of a manual does not solve the problem of improving the mathematical preparation of students. It is important to develop a methodology for working with it and to put it more widely into practice.
