FORMATION OF MATHEMATICAL LITERACY AMONG STUDENTS OF AGROENGINEERING PROFILE THROUGH CONTEXTUAL TASKS

Abstract

The level of training of a competent agro-specialist is the main condition for success and demand at various enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. In this regard, the problem of transformation of the content and methods of teaching mathematics through contextual tasks that would meet the modern requirements of higher education becomes particularly relevant. In pedagogy, there are various approaches to the formation and development of students’ practice-oriented competencies that will be necessary in their future professional activities. So, within the context of contextual tasks, this article discusses the use of mathematical methods in various fields of knowledge, including the agricultural sector. In the process of mathematical training of agricultural engineers of a new generation, the main goal of this research is forming mathematical literacy through contextual tasks, because at present it is impossible to imagine any industry that would work without the use of mathematical calculations, mathematical models.
