Preparing future teachers to teach history of mathematics at school using digital technologies

The article discusses the specifics of the methodology for preparing future teachers to teach the history of mathematics in school using digital technologies. The need for students of a pedagogical university to study the history of mathematics, as well as ways and methods of applying historical material in lessons and extracurricular activities, is due to the desire to increase the cognitive interest of students and improve the quality of mathematical training of modern schoolchildren. The special academic discipline «Studying the history of mathematics in secondary general and higher education» is currently taught only to students of the master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science in the context of digitalization of education. The teaching methodology developed by the author of the article is based on a variety of ways to use digital resources and services in the educational process. Its effectiveness is confirmed by the results of a pedagogical experiment conducted on the basis of the Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education. In the course of the research, such methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, observation, comparison, modeling, questioning, testing, etc. were used. The experience presented in the article of forming students' readiness to teach the history of mathematics at school can be used by teachers of pedagogical universities who provide professional training for mathematics teachers.
