MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMS MODERNIZATION BASED ON RUSSIAN AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Abstract
Russian education standards have come a long way from being extremely detailed and regulating the content of education programs at all levels to the current state when there is a great freedom for universities in defining its education programs. The downside of that freedom is too general formulations of these competences and absence of framework requirements for the scope and content of individual parts of educational programs for the various types of training. This raises the problem of preserving the unity of educational space in Russia and the traditionally high level of teaching mathematics in Russian universities. Russian scientific and educational community together with industry and business are currently looking for the ways to solve this problem.
In the paper, the experience of the modernization educational programs in the field of information and communication technologies is considered. The methodology of creation of valid assessment tools funds to check formation of competences is presented. The presented results are based on the methodology of international and Russian scientific and methodological projects.
Currently obtained results of approbation of the methodology showed that the chosen modernization methods are an effective tool for solving the designated math-related problems in engineering education in Russian universities and, consequently, students will start to correspond more adequately to the labor market needs.
