Sažetak
The preparation of student teachers for their future profession is complex and difficult task. In this preparation, three components of can be identified: mathematics knowledge, didactics of mathematics and psychology of learning. Mathematics knowledge is widely acknowledged as one of the critical attributes of mathematics teachers, thus, many studies investigated deficiencies in knowledge of in-service and pre- service mathematics teachers. Many of these studies have been motivated by Klein’s “Doppelte Diskontinuität” (double discontinuity). In 1924 Felix Klein used term double discontinuity to describe two breaches (discontinuities) in the education of mathematics teachers. He was motivated by the discontinuity between school and university mathematics: first, university mathematics bore little relationship to the experiences students had had in schools ; second, university graduates returning to schools used little of what they had experienced in university in their teaching lives. Almost century has passed since Klein’ paradigm and the double discontinuity still exists. In this paper, we will report the results of the survey conducted among future mathematics teachers who were given questionnaire containing questions from primary school mathematics. This survey was motivated by following questions: What do we expect that our mathematics students know form primary school? What does “know” mean?
