Diagnostics of Readiness of School Graduates to Continue Mathematics Education
This article raises the problem of poor mathematical preparation of school graduates, who are potential university students. It is proposed to consider the main result of students� mathematical preparation at the profi le level at school from the standpoint of readiness to continue mathematical education further. The concept of �readiness of school graduate to continue mathematics education� is formulated. The article describes structural components of readiness as a result of education of graduates of secondary schools; these are cognitive, activity, motivational and evaluative, refl ective, evaluative, emotional and volitional components. The authors introduce a diagnostic program evaluating readiness of high school graduates to continue the mathematical education, which includes a variety of assessment tools and gauges. The authors present gathered during four years results of evaluation of the readiness level among fi rst-year students. The conclusions are made about the current readiness level by all selected components.
