MATHEMATICAL METHODS AND COMPUTER-BASED SIMULATION METHODS AS THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF TRAINING MASTERS OF PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

Basing on special aspects of training and professional activity of Masters of pedagogical education, and the requirements to the results of their acquisition of major educational programs and their structure containing in the Federal State Education Standard of Higher Education (FSES HE), the authors prove the necessity to integrate mathematical methods and computer-based simulation methods into the content of training masters-teachers within the  modern information and educational environment (IEE) of a university. In addition, the authors highlight the fact that modern IEE of a university causes the necessity to intensify the application of these methods by the future masters in their scientific studies while preparing graduate qualification works (GQW) in the form of master’s thesis (MT). The paper shows the results of analysis of MTs on pedagogics and psychology displaying that the abovementioned methods play the role of a tool or just a mean to prove the hypothesis of the study, and the logical structure of classification of mistakes made by graduate students-researchers in their MGQWs in the form of MTs on pedagogics. The authors analyze the known in education methodology approaches of future graduate students-teachers to the organization of their researches and offer algorithm of pedagogical study within the framework of MGQW in the form of MT. To improve the efficiency and quality of training masters-teachers, the authors recommend using the training course “Mathematical methods and computer-based simulation methods in education” and present its program.
