PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TO STUDENTS MAJORING IN CONSTRUCTION THROUGH TEACHING MATHEMATICS

Abstract

. Construction specialists need to have a deep understanding of mathematics to perform essential tasks such as design, structural calculations, engineering analysis, quality control, and other critical responsibilities. From this perspective, teaching mathematics to students in construction-related fields is an essential component of their professional training. The relevance of this issue is associated with the need to enhance the effectiveness of mathematical education for construction majors. The aim is to determine effective methods for teaching mathematics and integrate them into the educational process to develop the professional competencies of construction students. Adapting mathematical subjects to the specific features of construction specialties ensures that students acquire knowledge at an applied level. The study employed several research methods to identify effective teaching strategies for improving the professional training of construction students. Theoretical analysis methods were used to examine the key concepts of the study. Empirical research methods, including surveys and interviews, were also applied. To objectively assess the experimental results, the collected data underwent statistical processing. The study highlighted the importance of teaching mathematics in an applied context for construction students. Specifically, compared to traditional mathematical education methods, incorporating construction-oriented mathematical problems into the learning process demonstrated significant outcomes. The statistical significance of the test results after the study confirmed this: t(98) = 7.6024, p < 0.05, indicating sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
