Problems of mathematical preparation of students at Aleksandras Stulginskis University

Abstract

The attitude to teaching and learning has been clearly changing in the Lithuanian educational process during the last fifteen years: the secondary schools adopted profile teaching that was replaced by teaching and learning according to the levels, while the higher university education became accessible to anyone with enough funds to pay for studies at University regardless of evaluations of secondary education. The changing attitudes caused big damage to the training of mathematical skills. It is clearly manifested while studying higher Mathematics. The article analyzes the condition of preparation of the first-year students to study higher Mathematics at the Faculty of Economics and Management of Aleksandras Stulginskis University, its changes and studying results.
