METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE SUBJECT «ANALYTIC GEOMETRY» AT THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This paper summarizes the experience of teaching the course of ‘Analytic geometry’ to students of a Technical University. The purpose and the application area of the course within the professional education are described. We show the importance of the discipline in the formation of a student's cognitive, creative and professional competencies. We present the methodological problems of teaching, the main ideas of their resolution, methods and techniques of teaching, organization of students' independent work, and pedagogical tools for goal achievement. We describe the most important issues arising as a result of the transition to the rating system of evaluation of educational achievements and possible ways of overcoming them.
