Formation of the Polycultural - Historical Environment of Mathematics Teaching at School

Abstract

The relevance of this research is caused by the fact that the transition to new standards of mathematical education raised a new problem -the development of a methodological system of teaching in "the cultural and historic environment". This problem is connected with training of pre-service mathematics teachers that would meet the modern requirements.The aim of the research is to point out the basic principles and components of cultural and historical methods of teaching mathematics, as well as to develop the technologies that would provide for the corresponding teaching environment.The leading method of investigation of this problem is the methodology of modeling the process of learning mathematics. It allows considering the problem as a product of a targeted and organized process for the formation of special, cultural and historical, teaching environment. This article represents developed by the authors a model of methodological system of the teaching mathematics cultural-historical environment forming. Its structural-functional model has a target, methodological, informative, productive, subject-culture bridge, technological components.The materials of the article are of practical value to actual teachers of mathematics, before which the problem of learning in cultural-historical environment is appeared. It also targets those professionals who train future mathematics teachers in accordance with the new standards.
