Mathematical education at a technical university: Motivational aspects
https://doi.org/10.20913/2618-7515-2022-3-20
Abstract
Introduction. The spread of digital technologies in all areas of life is associated with the acquisition of a prestigious profession related to the field of information and communication technologies and the influx of students to these specialties. However, level of motivation among these students is significantly different. They simply do not have significant knowledge about the profession and do not realize, for example, the need to study such an abstract discipline as mathematics. This is due to the increased motivation and interest of students in the study of mathematical disciplines.
Purpose setting. The article deals with the problems of motivation of undergraduate students in the study of mathematical disciplines in a technical university.
Methods and methodology of the study. The main methods of the research are analysis, generalization of published materials, personal observation and experienced authors in teaching the discipline "mathematical student analysis" based on first-year students of the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering of the Novosibirsk State Technical University.
Results. The authors see one of the possibilities to increase interest of students in the introduction of extended survey lectures, the purpose of which is to convey to first-year students all serious fundamental mathematical training, linking such training with the chosen specialty and pointing out the impossibility of replacing it with the study of "fashionable" trends, for example, in the computer industry. The authors pay special attention to the analysis of the level of training of school graduates. It is noted that one of the reasons for the low motivation of students to study at a technical university is their weak mathematical training, which does not always correspond to relatively high USE score in specialized mathematics, which allows them to enroll in universities without exams.
Conclusions. The level of motivation largely determines the effectiveness of training specialists, therefore, one of the tasks of a university teacher is to purposefully form motivations aimed at professional adaptation and professional development of students.
