MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE OF BACHELOR DEGREE STUDENTS OF TECHNICAL DIRECTIONS: CRITERIA AND INDICES OF ITS ESTIMATION
The article reveals the estimation criteria and indices of mathematical competence of bachelor degree students of technical directions at competence-contextual methods of teaching mathematics. Based on five structural components of the mathematical competence notion the author has identified the following criteria for its estimation: motivational and axiological, cognitive, activity practical, experimental and reflective. They allow to estimate different aspects of the process and the results of learning and cognitive activity and quasiprofessional activity of students: the structure and strength of motivation, the value attitude to activity; the volume and the level of theoretical knowledge of mathematics mastering; practical knowledge and skills in solving mathematical problems and solving professionally-oriented problems by mathematical modeling method; the ability to analyze, estimate and update activity. The indices of these criteria were determined and substantiated theoretically (for each of four levels) and the estimation of mathematical competence formation of students is based on them.
