FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL SPACE
https://doi.org/10.28925/2078-1687.2019.3-4.5258

The article deals with the main trends of formation of students’ mathematical competence in modern conditions of Ukraine’s entry into the European educational space. The competency-based approach has been considered as a methodological basis of the process of formation of mathematical competence. The Framework Program for updated core competencies of 2018 has been reviewed, and a comparative analysis of the core competencies of the European Union in 2006 and 2018 has been carried out. The importance of forming the mathematical competence of future specialists in solving professional problems in their future professional activities has been emphasized. The changes that the interpretation of mathematical competence has undergone in the updated core competencies of the European Union have been pointed out. The definitional analysis of the concept of «mathematical competence» used in domestic pedagogical theory has been carried out. The advantages of some approaches in the best European practices in the formation of mathematical competence have been stressed. Attention has been drawn to the peculiarities of adapting the process of forming mathematical competence of Ukrainian students to the best European practices as well as arising contradictions and problems. It has been proved that the formation of students’ mathematical competence contributed to the formation of the innovative economy of the state as a whole, as it contributes to the solution of professional problems by future specialists. It has been proved that taking into account the mathematical competence as a key one will contribute to the formation of professional competencies of future specialists.  On the other hand, taking into account the mathematical competence as a key one will help to improve the curriculum of mathematical disciplines. The proposed research can serve as a methodological basis for constructing components of students’ mathematical competence.
Key words: European educational space; key competencies; mathematical competence.
