Content and structure of future mathematics teachers’ preparedness to organize mobile learning for schoolchildren

Statement of the problem. In the context of digitalization of education, the main prerequisite is creation of a digital educational environment that opens up new opportunities: learning at any convenient time, continuous education, the ability to design individual educational routes, transfer from digital resource consumers to digital resource creators. Various digital educational resources, distance learning platforms, cloud technologies, and the use of mobile devices help realize these opportunities. The pedagogical community is developing modern formats to introduce mobile devices into the educational process. Mobile technologies arouse students’ increased motivation and interest in learning, help expand the horizons of knowledge acquisition and build an individual learning roadmap - all this leads to the improved quality of education. Today we see the need to introduce mobile technologies into the educational process and at the same time we see insufficient knowledge about the didactic potential of using mobile devices and services in the learning process, as well as issues of training personnel for organizing mobile learning for schoolchildren. The purpose of the article is to determine the content and structure of future mathematics teachers’ preparedness to organize mobile learning for schoolchildren. Methodology (materials and methods) includes analysis and synthesis of the works of Russian and foreign researchers on the problem under study, as well as the experience of training teachers in the field of information and communication technologies. Research results. An essential prerequisite for the performance effectiveness is the person’s preparedness for its implementation. In this study, we examined the preparedness of future mathematics teachers to organize schoolchildren’s mobile learning as a personality education that has a systemic, complex structure and acts as a set of motivational, personal, theoretical, activity-related and reflective components. In the structure of the activity component, we identified three levels of preparedness of future mathematics teachers to organize schoolchildren’s mobile learning (basic, creative, and professional). Conclusion. The maturity of these components helps future teachers of mathematics to organize schoolchildren’ mobile learning in line with the requirements of modern education, thereby preparing the younger generation for study, life, and work in a dynamically changing world.
