MAIN TENDENCIES OF EVOLUTION OF SECONDARY MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION (XIX AND XXI CENTURIES)

Abstract

The article deals with the comparative analysis of the Russian secondary mathematical education (second half of the XIX and early XXI centuries). The author studies the course duration and content as well as educational process aims. The author takes into account differences between various types of secondary educational institutions and process of their development. On the basis of that comparative analysis the author has come to certain conclusions, which allow to identify priorities in the process of current modernization of Russian secondary mathematical education. Historical parallels provide an opportunity to adjust modern approaches to secondary mathematical education, to define more precisely the duration of mathematical course.
