Sažetak
Observing pupils results in mathematics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia we are confronted with bad grades, much of negative attitude of society towards math and poor results that pupils obtained in the various external evaluation. Poor results require reconsideration of all the parameters that have an impact on the results of mathematical education, and one of the most important is a teacher. With modes, enthusiasm, educational goals, methodological competence and knowledge a teacher affects on competence arise in their students, and because of that students results in mathematics also. Contemporary math education sets goals and models opposite than traditional teaching. Our research shows preference of classroom teachers to use contemporary or traditional concept of teaching mathematics. The results showed tha tmost teachers have modern thinking about the mathematic teaching and a high level of awareness about the benefits and necessity of modernizing math teaching. Teacher's high level of awarnes toward contemporary approach we considered as good indicator of the progress of our teaching practice.
