THE CONTENT OF THE RESEARCH COMPETENCE OF THE FUTURE TEACHER OF MATHEMATICS

The article deals with the preparation of a mathematics teacher for the students research activities. Questioning of students, polls of employers indicate a low level of formation of the research competencies among students and graduates of pedagogical specialties. The relevance of the problem of the research competencies formation in future teachers is obvious. The analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature showed that the researchers studying the issues of the competence-based approach in education have different points of view on determining the content of these concepts. The article presents various interpretations of the concepts of “competence”, “pedagogical competence”, “research competence”, “research competence”. The study and generalization of work experience shows that the research competencies are acquired by students in the study of most academic disciplines, however, it is the content of mathematics education which a future mathematics teacher receives at a university that is a system-forming factor in the formation of the research competence. Formation of research competencies of future teacher students is connected, first of all, with the organization of research activities. The category "research activity" is the basis of the concept "research competence". Research competence of a mathematics teacher is defined by us as an important professional quality as an integral part of pedagogical competence, a comprehensive characteristic of the teacher's personality, expressed in a conscious desire for research, cognitive, methodological and analytical activities. The aim of the article is to determine the content of the teacher's research competence. The components of the research competence of a mathematics teacher are: a set of axiological, methodological, analytical, logical, mathematical, process and communicative competencies. The article provides the examples of the use of tasks during studying at a university which will help the students to develop some research competencies.
