Formation of the mathematical competence of the future railway transport specialists

The dynamic pace of socio-economic development of the country, the improvement of new science-intensive technologies, the digitalization of all spheres of public life and the introduction of innovations, including in railway transport, have determined the need for competitive, highly qualified specialists capable of professional growth, social and professional mobility. The expected model of a potential employee of the railway industry from the employer’s point of view is expressed in the federal state educational standard of secondary vocational education — the structure of the model highlights general and professional competencies that allow graduates to successfully solve problems in the relevant area of professional activity at railway transport facilities. The labor functions of a railway engineer are often associated with mathematical operations, which increases the requirements for the level of mathematical training of graduates.
The problem of the study is due to the contradiction between the demands of the state, the railway industry and society for railway specialists capable of solving high-tech problems using modern software, and the insufficient formation of the corresponding mathematical competencies of graduates — future railway specialists. The essence of mathematical competence as one of the components of the general professional competence of a graduate of secondary vocational education is revealed, a methodological model for the formation of mathematical competence of students — future specialists in railway transport is presented. The experience of implementing the developed methodology for the formation of mathematical competence of students in the real educational process at the Krasnoyarsk College of Railway Transport is described. The theoretical provisions and methodological recommendations obtained by the author can be used in the theory and practice of solving issues of increasing the level of formation of mathematical competence of students — future specialists in railway transport.
