A comparison of Kosovar and Polish pre-service teachers' knowledge of fractions

International audienceThe aim of this study was to examine Kosovar and Polish pre-service teachers' knowledge of fractions. Thirty-three Kosovar and thirty-five Polish pre-service teachers participated in the study. They were asked to complete a fractions knowledge test, which was adapted from Cramer, Post, and del Mas's (2002) study. The results identified substantial differences between Kosovar and Polish pre-service teachers' knowledge of fractions. The differences between these two groups of preservice teachers' knowledge of fractions appeared to be a consequence of the number of courses related to mathematics, the number of hours of lectures in mathematics during their studies and the structures of the programmes in both universities
