Sažetak
Elementary school teachers choose on their own, which extracurricular activities they want to lead. We are interested in their choice of advanced mathematics as extracurricular activity. Corresponding research addresses the teacher education students enrolled in final year of study, who will in future be responsible for the advanced mathematics courses in the first four grades of elementary schools. This paper explores the ability of the teacher education students enrolled in final year of study to prepare the first four grades of elementary school pupils for mathematics competitions. Students’ efficacy in solving exercises from the highest ranked mathematics competition in Croatia for fourth grade elementary schools pupils is tested and compared with fourth grade pupils’ efficacy in solving those exercises. Research is conducted at four Croatian universities (Osijek, Zadar, Split, Zagreb) on the sample of students enrolled in final year of teaching primary education programme. The obtained outcome indicates that pupils are more successful in solving those mathematical problems than students. Furthermore, the amount of mathematical subjects in teaching primary education programme has an effect on tested students’ efficacy.
