Abstract

Math teachers in the high schools, and
furthermore, the university math teachers, can testify that
in general, the quality in mathematical training of
students graduating high schools, and the acquired math
knowledge, is decreasing. On the other side, many studies
can point out that the most frequent phenomena in
mathematical training of students is wrong acceptance of
the concepts, which results in inability for dealing with
those concepts and is serious barrier in math education
and further application of mathematics. The perception
created during our work with students over a period of
ten years indicate that the students have distorted and
incorrect knowledge of basic mathematical terms and
concepts. In order to describe the situation, a test with
basic mathematical question has been made for the
students in the first year on different faculties. The main
aim of this paper is to analyze the situation about such
formal concept acceptance and to give conclusions and
recommendations to cross over it.
