Sažetak
It is of great importance to use mathematical knowledge to solve real problems. Certainly one of the fields of mathematics that plays a major role here is geometry. This paper examines prior knowledge of pre- service teachers in relation to the concept of measurement. Basic knowledge in this field is necessary for a student educated to teach mathematics in the first four grades of primary school as this content is part of the mathematics curriculum for the given period. The participants of the study were first-year pre- service teachers, i.e., a total of 103. The paper focuses on analyzing students’ responses to questions referring to measurement. Research results indicate that there are deficiencies in the knowledge of this field, which points to the need for additional increased attention to this concept in the courses offered to students in their studies, thus contributing to increasing the level of knowledge in this field.
