Abstract

Earlier findings suggest that there is a gap between the knowledge of students entering the university and the expectations and prerequisites of the universities’ curriculum. In this paper we investigate this gap in the Hungarian mathematics education. In particular we concentrate on the geometrical knowledge of the Hungarian high school students. For measuring their levels of geometrical understanding we used the Usiskin test for the framework of the Van Hieles. The test was filled in by 342 students from five different high schools. The results show that there is no improvement during the high school years, the average score of the Usiskin test is between 2.03 and 2.17 on all grades.
