Математичне моделювання в процесі формування практичних компетентностей учнів

Voloshena V. Mathematical modeling in the process of formation of practical competences of students Abstract. One of the main tasks of modern natural-mathematical education is forming pupils’ scientific world view. An important role in this process is given to teaching students mathematical modelling. Having universal method of scientific cognition features, mathematical modelling in school studying plays a role of integrating component of a subject content of nature-studying disciplines. The analysis of scientific and methodical literature sources and school studying process shows that, in spite of wide usage of mathematical modelling method in studying program subjects, forming proper students’ abilities takes place mainly at mathematics lessons. An our opinion this fact has a big negative influence on didactic effectiveness of usage of this method during studying process. We are sure that overcoming such narrowness is possible under the condition that forming mathematical modelling abilities takes place not only during mathematic lessons, but also during studying all nature-studying subjects. If during studying natural events and laws and during studying problems solving focus students’ attention on the hierarchal process of mathematic model building, the process of mathematic modeling studying becomes more effective, and studying of mathematic modeling as building and researching of models’ succession helps forming students’ understanding the modeling character of cognition and knowledge scantiness, helps developing students’ cognitive and creative abilities, on this basis, and because of the need to fully explore the most important elements of the method of mathematical modeling in the senior school, prompted a separate elective course on study of the method of mathematical modeling
