IMPROVEMENT OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ NATURAL AND MATHEMATICAL TRAINING QUALITY ON THE BASIS OF SOLUTION OF INTERSUBJECT SUMS
In the article the aspects concerning improvement of theoretical training quality of students studying on the Primary education profile are considered. The question is considered in relation to disciplines of the professional cycle «Mathematics» and «Natural sciences». Future primary school teachers should know both disciplines equally well and be able to apply knowledge of one of them to the solution of practical sums on the other. Paradoxically, but in practice students easily reproduce knowledge of each discipline and have difficulties in situations requiring complex use of knowledge. It is possible to resolve this contradiction by means of including intersubject sums into the educational process. The principal advantage of these tasks consists in their simultaneous directivity on learning of the mathematical and natural-science facts. In the article examples of sums on the theory of multiple forms and on mathematical logic with natural contents are given, and the methodical dominant of the offered sums is defined. The research showed that use of intersubject sums in the educational process leads to the best understanding of the essence of some natural mathematical concepts by students, and it forms their ability to use gained knowledge.
