Abstract
Relevance. Mathematical statistics methods can play a valuable role in educating students by assessing their mathematical abilities, guiding professional orientation choices, and evaluating potential solutions.
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to explore the possibility of using ubiquitous distance education for collaborative group work with mathematical support. The proposed approach involves the use of cluster and network technologies, where each participant acts as a host for the curriculum.
Methodology. The methodology involves determining the effectiveness of the applied methods by evaluating the potential for group application of the methodological apparatus and identifying areas of assistance for students in choosing a professional orientation.
Results. The results demonstrate that in higher education, the use of mathematical tools enables students to develop decision-making abilities, assess choice conditions, select courses, and identify knowledge domains where they can thrive. For mathematics students, this approach enhances their ability to apply mathematical concepts to practical problems through collaborative group work.
Conclusions. The practical significance of the research is determined by the potential of the developed program to shape professionally trained graduates.
