Design skills of the mathematics teacher as a resource for improving the quality of mathematics education

Research problem and justification of its topicality. In the context of the socio-economic development of our state, a need has arisen to develop secondary general mathematical education in accordance with the current and future needs of the state. One of the most important conditions for the development of mathematics education is the effective activity of mathematics teachers, which involves the ability to design the educational process of teaching mathematics, taking into account pedagogical realities and the prospects for socio-economic development. Research goal. The goal of the research is to substantiate the importance of design skills in the professional activities of mathematics teachers as a resource for improving the quality of mathematics education. Methodology. Experimental research work was carried out on the basis of the Volgograd State Academy of Postgraduate Education. The following methods were used in the research: study and analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature on the problem of pedagogical design, normative documents in the field of educational state policy, assessment of the quality of mathematical education in general educational organizations, testing and questioning of mathematics teachers of general educational organizations in Volgograd and the Volgograd region. Results. The research performed made it possible to substantiate the importance of design skills in the professional activity of the mathematics teacher in the context of working in modern educational organizations. The author considers the design skills of the mathematics teacher as a human resource that determines the success and effectiveness of mathematics education in general educational institutions. Within the framework of the research work, the essential characteristics were determined of the design skills of the teacher, which guarantee the quality of professional and pedagogical activity; a structural-functional model of the design skills of the mathematics teacher was constructed; an experiment was carried out confirming the interrelation between the design skills of mathematics teachers and the quality of mathematics education in general educational institutions. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of experimental research is presented.
