Abstract

All-round development of the everyday logic of students should be considered as one of the most important tasks of general secondary education on the whole and general secondary mathematics education in particular. The article is devoted to the problem of organization in teachers’ training institutions of higher education the expedient training for the future mathematics’ teachers in institutions of general secondary education to ensure their ability to realize during all their future professional activities the necessary participation in forming the everyday logic of their pupils.

Although the content filling of the course cannot be irrespective of the general level of arrangement of mathematics education in the corresponding country, it ought to be a subject of discussion of the international mathematics community and managers in the sphere of higher mathematics education. Simultaneously, the role, the place, and the expedient structure of such a course in the corresponding training programs should be under discussion. The article represents the authors’ point of view on the problems, indicated above. The research has a qualitative character as a whole. Only some of its conclusions have statistical corroboration.
