Interactive Methods as the Way of Forming the Research Competence of Future Math Teachers

The article presents the use of interactive methods as the way of forming the research competence of math students. Contemporary school is needed for a creative educator and researcher who have innovative teaching methods. The training situation analysis of the future math teachers shows that their teaching methods give undue attention to the formation of research competence among the students that does not correspond with society's demands for a competent specialist. The aim of the study is to develop methods of using the interactive methods for forming research competence for the math students in the "Math Teaching Methods" training course. The following research techniques were used in the study: theoretical analysis of a problem, literature review, observation, questioning and testing. As a result, the students showed independence performing their project works on the topic of "Developing mathematical literacy of 5- 9 grade pupils", "The project method as the way of forming research abilities among the pupils" and actively participated in the scientific conferences. The technique of using interactive methods such as the case-method, the analyses of practical situations and their application in the practicum of the "Math Teaching Methods" ( MTM) course had been developed during the study.
