The Didactic Ground of the Basic Mathematical Preparation in the Aspect of the Implementation of Modern Educational Technology of STEM Education at Higher Education Institutions

Статтю присвячено проблемі впровадження в навчальний процес ЗВО актуальної педагогічної технології STEM-освіти, що являє собою трансдисциплінарний підхід до навчання. Проведено аналіз дидактичної основи фундаменталізації базової математичної підготовки майбутніх фахівців технічного профіля у ЗВО в умовах компетентнісної парадигми освіти. За результатом аналізу представлено ключові дидактичні принципи як чинник успішної взаємодії напрямів навчання в межах STEM-технології.The paper deals with the problem of implementation the actual pedagogical technology of STEM education, which is a transdisciplinary approach to learning, into the academic process of a higher educational establishment. The “STEM” abbreviation includes: S – science, T – technology, E – engineering, M – mathematics. The relevance of the development of STEM education as a new direction is due to the existence of a number of significant problems: the traditional education system does not fully meet the requirements for preparation of technical specialists of the XXI century. In particular, their readiness to solve real technical problems through the integrated application of the acquired knowledge turns out to be poorly formed. In our opinion, the successful implementation of STEM education into the academic process of a higher education institution should be preceded by fundamental preparation of applicants within the compulsory parts of individual disciplines of STEM directions. This, first of all, concerns mathematical courses, in connection with the universal role of mathematics in the modeling of different processes, as well as its influence on the general intellectual level of individual. The didactic foundation of the basis of mathematical preparation at higher educational establishments should ensure further integration of STEM disciplines. In our works fundamentalization of basic mathematical preparation at higher educational establishments in the context of the competence paradigm of education is substantiated. This paper presents an analysis of the didactic principles of the fundamentalization of the basic mathematical preparation from the perspective of the successful interaction of learning directions within the framework of the actual STEM technology. Based on the results of the analysis, the key didactic principles of the fundamentalization of the basic mathematical preparation of applicants at higher educational establishments (generalization of mathematical knowledge, problembased learning, professional orientation of training, learning at a high level of difficulty, accessibility, individual approach to learning, formation of creative thinking) are recommended as principles that ensure successful implementation of transdisciplinary technology at higher educational establishments
