Document Content:
This doctoral thesis focuses on the preparation of pedagogical university students of mathematics to equip them with the necessary skills to guide high school students in self-study. In the context of evolving educational objectives emphasizing self-control and self-development, fostering self-study capacity in high school students is crucial. Mathematics, with its abstract nature and practical applications, particularly benefits from students developing self-study habits. The research delves into the concept of guided self-study, its characteristics, and the essential skills required for both students and teachers. It identifies a gap in current pedagogical training, where the specific skills needed to prepare future math teachers for guided self-study instruction are not adequately addressed. The study aims to clarify these skills, explore training opportunities within educational institutions, and propose measures to enhance the preparedness of math pedagogical students to effectively guide high school students in self-directed learning. The research contributes theoretical and practical insights to the field of mathematics education, emphasizing the importance of guided self-study in building a learning society.
