SOLVING COMPETENCY-BASED TASKS IN MATHEMATICS LESSONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the purpose and principles of the competency-based approach to teaching mathematics in general secondary education institutions, which are based on the practical orientation of education, an integrated approach, and the development of key competencies such as critical thinking, teamwork, and self-education, taking into account the individual needs or interests of students. This approach to learning is focused on preparing students to solve complex tasks (problems) in the future.

Within the framework of the competency-based approach, the significance of solving competency-based tasks in mathematics classes has been analyzed as a means of preparing individuals for professional activities, fostering flexible thinking, and cultivating an interest in studying mathematics, which enables students to understand the potential for applying mathematical knowledge beyond the school environment.

The potential for implementing various methods and approaches to solving competency-based tasks has been considered through specific examples, such as: the algebraic method, analytical and graphical approaches, with the possibility of using elementary and higher mathematics, as well as the method of applying mathematical software tools.

The feasibility and potential for the widespread introduction of competency-based tasks into the mathematics curriculum of general secondary education institutions have been explored. These tasks enable the development of students’ mathematical abilities and facilitate their successful integration into society.
