RESEARCH OF SPECIAL ABILITIES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHEN LEARNING MATHEMATICS

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the study of the level of special abilities of university students studying in various areas of undergraduate education. In the process of experimental work, the students’ ability to find relationships and patterns between quantities, the ability of students to analyze information and perform computational mathematical operations, and the development of students’ logical thinking are studied. A sample (N=86) of university students is used with the use of psychodiagnostic methods aimed at determining the level of special abilities (“Arithmetic test”, “Numerical test”, “Three projections”). Pedagogical measurement and processing of statistical information make it possible to determine levels of special abilities of students of 1-2 years of university studies when teaching mathematics.
