Terepa A. Developing mathematical competence of future elementary school teachers in colleges of education

The thesis defines the following criteria and indicators of the development level of mathematical competence in future elementary school teachers: cognitive (ability to deploy mathematical concepts correctly; ability to use verbal and non-verbal means of communicating mathematical information; ability to present mathematical data in oral and written forms, graphically or symbolically, ability to analyze data and to draw correct and substantiated conclusions); activity-based (willingness and ability of future teachers to solve mathematical problems correctly; ability to solve typical and non-typical tasks by mathematical means; ability to systematize and generalize mathematical information; ability to have full command of mathematical tools); value-based (interest in mathematical knowledge, readiness to critically evaluate personal mathematical activity, ability to put forward hypotheses, independently substantiate mathematical statements, aspiration for mathematical self-development).
