   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Рассмотрен комплексный анализ связей между индивидуальными когнитивными&#13;
предпочтениями студентов в представлении условий математических задач и их академической успеваемостью. Актуальность работы обусловлена противоречием между традиционной, ориентированной на знаково-символические репрезентации, системой математического образования и современными научными данными, подчеркивающими критическую роль мультимодального подхода и когнитивной гибкости в процессе обучения. В фокусе исследования находится проблема эффективного изучения математики, которая предъявляет уникальные&#13;
требования к мышлению, предполагая синтез визуально-образной интуиции и строгого формально-логического аппарата. Теоретической основой работы выступили теория семиотических репрезентативных регистров Р. Дюваля, концепция когнитивных стилей М.А. Холодной, а также модель двойного кодирования А. Пайвио. Эмпирическая часть исследования включала проведение опроса среди студентов университета, направленного на выявление доминирующих предпочтений в восприятии учебной информации: образного, знаково-символического или смешанного типа. Полученные данные были подвергнуты статистическому анализу с приме-&#13;
нением критерия Манна – Уитни для сравнения успеваемости по алгебре и геометрии между выделенными группами. Результаты продемонстрировали, что группа студентов, сознательно предпочитающая смешанный формат представления информации, демонстрирует статистически значимо более высокую успеваемость по геометрии по сравнению с группой, строго ориентированной на знаково-символические репрезентации. При этом аналогичных различий в успеваемости по алгебре между группами выявлено не было. Это позволяет утверждать, что когнитивная&#13;
гибкость, выражающаяся в способности свободно переключаться между различными семиотическими регистрами, является ключевым компетентностным предиктором успеха в освоении геометрического материала. На основе результатов сформулированы практические рекомендации для педагогической практики, нацеленные на переход от учета статичных когнитивных предпочтений к активному развитию репрезентативной гибкости у всех категорий обучающихся через&#13;
внедрение мультимодальных и динамических образовательных технологий.</p>

    <p>The present study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between&#13;
students' individual cognitive preferences in presenting mathematical problem conditions and&#13;
their academic performance. The relevance of the work is due to the contradiction between the traditional system of mathematical education, focused on symbolic representations, and modern scientific data that emphasize the critical role of a multimodal approach and cognitive flexibility in the learning process. The research focuses on the problem of effective study of geometry, which places unique demands on thinking, assuming a synthesis of visual-imaginative intuition and a strict formal-logical apparatus. The theoretical basis of the work is the theory of semiotic representative registers by Raymond Duval, the concept of cognitive styles by Maria Kholodnaya, as well as the dual coding model by Alan Paivio. The empirical part of the study includes conducting a survey among university students aimed at identifying dominant preferences in the perception of educational information: figurative, symbolic, or mixed types. The data obtained are subjected to statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney criterion to compare academic performance in algebra and geometry between the selected groups. The results show that the group of students who consciously prefer a mixed format of information presentation demonstrate statistically significantly higher academic performance in geometry compared to the group strictly focused on symbolic representations. At the same time, there are no similar differences in academic performance in algebra between the groups. Besides, the group of students who consciously prefer a mixed format of information presentation demonstrate statistically significantly higher academic performance in geometry compared to the group strictly focused on symbolic representations. At the same time, there are no similar differences in academic performance in algebra between the groups. This suggests that cognitive flexibility, expressed in the ability to freely switch between different semiotic registers, is a key competence predictor.</p>
