Trigonometrijos mokymo problemos bendrojo lavinimo vidurinėje ir aukštojoje mokykloje
The problems of trigonometry teaching in school and at the university

Summary/Abstract: Student‘s professional development is important assessment criteria for the improvement of higher education quality. This article analyses negative factors having an influence on pedagogical education quality: students‘ insufficient motivation to became mathematics teacher and unsatisfactory opinion about some subjects of the education curriculum, inadequacy of the content of school mathematics subject teaching in school and at the university. The objective of this research were to expose the causes of the difficulties of students‘ school trigonometry studies at the university and to ascertain the possibilities of mathematics teacher professional development. The research employed the following methods: questioning of university students and school mathematics teachers, analysis of references, documents and students‘ test, statistical analysis of the data collected. The rezults of the research have shown that the greater part (around 67 percents) of inquesting university students were motivated to study mathematics, but they weren‘t intend to teach at school because of teacher‘s lose society prestige; more than half of students group study trigonometry at university pursue one‘s object to systematyze their trigonometry knowledges; various level of student‘s skills depend on school teacher‘s allot time for practice; low level of university student‘s trigonometry knowledges depend on insufficient skills getting in the school. Try to attain mathematical education quality improvement at pedagogical university is necessary to pay more attention to training of student‘s methodics competences, individualization of teaching, possibilities to choose various school mathematics courses.
