FORMATION OF THE MOTIVATIONAL COMPONENT OF MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS AT THE LIAONING RAILWAY INSTITUTE

Abstract

Development of railway connections with China requires training of specialists for cross-border routes. The relevance of the study is due to organization of the training process for both Russian and Chinese future engineers based on the study of mathematical disciplines. Since Chinese students continue their studies at the Volga State University of Railway Engineering, it is important to develop cooperation between teachers from both countries in the field of didactics and methods of teaching mathematics. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the development of the motivational component of the mathematical competence of Chinese students majoring in Railway Engineering at the first year of the Liaoning Railway Institute. The main approach to the study is T.D. Dubovitskaya’s methodology, which aims to identify the level of internal motivation in studying the discipline “Mathematics.” The article presents the results of testing the level of motivation in Chinese students’ mathematical competence.
