Interrelation of levels of mathematical literacy in conditions of distance learning

Abstract

Mathematical literacy and knowledge play a significant role in the formation of competencies. The purpose of the study is to determine the levels of mathematical literacy and their dependence on the type of thinking and the level of creative abilities in a distance learning environment. The research objectives are as follows: assess thinking (by type) and creativity; assess mathematical literacy; and determine the relationship between the level of mathematical literacy and thinking/creativity indicators. In line with this, it was established that the ratio of the spread in the values of the dependence of mathematical literacy on the basic forms of thinking (objective, symbolic, sign) is high. In practice, the study findings can become a starting point for further research in the field of critical thinking or may be applied during the development of mathematics training courses for students.
