Soft skills development during teaching Mathematics using the case method to bachelors of technical university specialties

Introduction . Mathematical training is one of the fundamental foundations in higher technical education, which initiates the search for improving its effectiveness using modern methods. In the course of the research, the possibilities of mathematical training in the formation of soft skills of bachelors of technical specialties of universities using the case method have been revealed. The materials and methods . A set of general scientific methods was used in the research, including synthesis, analysis, generalization, systematization and theoretical modeling. The Results . Soft skills are universal competencies required for teamwork, project management, and communication. In the process of learning mathematics, the following soft skills can be formed: critical and analytical thinking, logic and structure, the ability to work with large amounts of information, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, time management and self-discipline, communication and teamwork, resistance to stress and mistakes. One of the productive methods of forming soft skills is the case method, which allows you to demonstrate the use of mathematics to solve professionally oriented problems. It is advisable to select such cases, the content of which will allow you to include as wide a range of mathematical tools as possible. Discussion and Conclusion . For the effective formation of soft skills in the process of teaching bachelors of technical specialties, it is necessary to link theory with practice using professionally oriented tasks, actively use group formats (projects, discussions), give feedback (develop reflection and critical thinking), use digital tools (simulations, online collaborations).
