Matematičko obrazovanje kroz kompetencije za nivo osnovne škole / Mathematical Education through Competencies for the Primary School Level

Abstract

In this paper, the notions of mathematical competencies are updated, which pay attention to numerous conceptual issues of studying mathematics. Competencies make communication, presentation, reasoning, devising strategies using symbols and formulas with mathematical vocabulary. They include the ability to analyze and synthesize along with the ability to apply knowledge in practice. It is important to have a basic general knowledge of the profession imbued with basic practical expertise. Oral and written communication with basic computer skills such as: GeoGebre, Mathematic Wolfram, MatLab, etc., are important for the modern concept of mathematical knowledge. Viewed in that linguistic-competence sense, it would imply four generic competences. Primarily it is the ability to understand oral speech and communicate orally with other people. Further, this would be achieved through understanding and creating written works, as well as oral expression which would influence all actors to properly understand and interpret the received messages. Here we clearly recognize language competences with the aim of understanding both oral speech and written content.
