Teaching mathematics in psychological and pedagogical classes

Introduction. The staff shortage of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics teachers necessitates the popularization of the pedagogical profession, early identification of pedagogically gifted young people and their pre-professional training at the stage of pre-profile and profile education. The first stage of continuous pedagogical professional education is profile psychological and pedagogical classes (groups).

Goal. Analysis of the existing pedagogical experience of teaching in psychological and pedagogical classes and presentation of prospective forms of organizing mathematics classes.

Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of works of domestic and foreign teachers, normative documents and methodological recommendations on the organization of training in psychological and pedagogical classes. Methods of mathematical processing of statistical data are used.

Results and discussion. In the course of the work it was found that mathematics education in psychological and pedagogical classes has a number of features: popularization of mathematical knowledge; career-oriented context of mathematics education; professional auditions. In the 2023 / 2024 academic year on the basis of the Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafyev the project “School of Young Teacher” – a cycle of scientific-cognitive classes – was realized. The article presents prospective forms of organizing mathematics classes for students of psychological and pedagogical classes: a class on the topic “Popular Probability Theory” with elements of the role-playing game “Teacher and Students” and a class on the topic “Graphs” in the form of a pedagogical workshop “How to tell younger students about graphs?”.

Conclusion. According to the results of the conducted research, the conclusion is made about the lack of special methods of teaching in psychological and pedagogical classes of physical and mathematical orientation and the author's experience of organizing mathematics teaching is presented. The results of the admission campaign of 2024 indicate positive dynamics of professional self-determination of students of psychological and pedagogical classes of physical and mathematical orientation.
