Methodology of project-based learning for training junior students in applied mathematics: general scheme of the educational process

Abstract

An original methodology of the project-based learning for junior students of the specialty applied mathematics is proposed in the paper. A complete step-by-step diagram (as a BPMN diagram) of the process of the project-based learning as a business process with a description of the specifi actions of all its participants is given. The paper specifid and clearly describes all the main aspects of the work on the project, starting from the criteria that the project problem must satisfy, and ending with the form of project defense. The roles of both students within the project team and all teachers are described in detail. Special attention is paid to all documents accompanying the work on the project, which should be submitted by the project team. The results of the article may be useful to those teams of teachers who are just starting to work on the implementation of project-based learning into the educational process for the specialty of applied mathematics or related ones.
