Abstract

Formulation of the problem. In the professional education system of future teachers, there is a gradual accumulation of experience in introducing a facilitative approach into the educational process; however, insufficient attention is paid to this issue in modern research of domestic scientists. In particular, it requires studying and understanding the use of facilitative technologies in teaching mathematical disciplines and the development of their methodological content.

Materials and methods. Theoretical: analysis, systematization, and generalization of pedagogical and psychological research on clarifying the meaning of the concept of "facilitative approach"; modeling for the development of a model of classes in mathematical analysis using a facilitative approach in the training of future teachers of mathematics using the MAPLE package, SWOT analysis. Empirical: pedagogical observation of the educational process, analysis of the quality and success of education. The study was conducted based on the Makarenko State State University during 2020-2023. Groups of 10-16 students and future mathematics teachers participated in the study. The study was conducted over two years during the first half of the academic year when students were studying a course in mathematical analysis.

Results. A SWOT analysis of facilitative technologies was carried out. The experience of using the facilitative approach in teaching future mathematics teachers when teaching a course in mathematical analysis is presented.

Conclusions. The facilitative approach ensures the selection and implementation of individual educational trajectories of students and contributes to developing their personal qualities. In the training of mathematics teachers, one of the relevant technologies of the facilitative approach is the "World Café" and the use of the computing capabilities of mathematical information systems, particularly the MAPLE program. The described  facilitative  approach has confirmed their effectiveness, which creates additional favorable conditions for the successful training of future mathematics teachers.
