Research shows that students entering universities have acquired basic knowledge to different extents. It is very important to be able to apply mathematical knowledge directly. Students often treat practical knowledge separately from theoretical knowledge. They find it difficult to bind these two or see the relation between them. Meaningful learning and understanding is a basic aspect of all kinds of learning, and it is even more important in the case of learning mathematics. When students can provide the solution to something they have not learnt directly, when they can use their knowledge in novel situations, this is a sign of a different quality of knowledge, of a deeper understanding. The aim of this research was to measure students’ independent thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as to investigate the way they can actively apply their knowledge when solving problems not directly connected to the curriculum. We have investigated the relationship between the different knowledge areas, and levels (operations, conceptual understanding, problem and exercise solving) in the case of one hundred economic majors at Partium Christian University.  \nKey words: basic knowledge of mathematics, mathematical abilities, problem solving abilities, mathematical understanding, knowledge transfer.  \nIntroduction  \n“The first rule of discovery is to have brains and good luck. The second rule of discovery is to sit tight and wait till you get a bright idea“. [6]  \nThe teaching of mathematics is important not only for the application of the acquired knowledge, but for the development of the logical and rational way of thinking of the students of economic studies. Mathematics would be the most appropriate school subject to develop certain skills and abilities such as: association, selection, spotting the essence, abstract thinking, logical thinking, clear thinking, sense of locality, creativity, self control. Secondary school teaching plays an important role in the development of problem solving skills and of the knowledge needed to acquire these skills. [1] It also has a great influence upon the ability of acquiring specific knowledge, which is required for higher education subjects at the Faculty of Economics such as economic mathematics, economic statistics, probability, and accounting. [5] .  \nOne of the main features of the Romanian educational system is that students can study mathematics at different levels. A student in a Mathematics-Computer Programming class of a National College may even take a Baccalaureate examination of high level in mathematics as the programme includes: differential equations, probability theory, the basics of linear algebra, complex numbers, etc.  \nThere are many mathematics subjects in the curriculum of BA/BSc, MA/MSc and PhD degree programs of faculties of economics. Just like physics, economics needs the synchronic use of different subjects and domains, including all the branches of mathematics. [5] In the aforementioned work thereis a short presentation of the types of mathematical knowledge needed in economics. The following basic subjects in mathematics are part of the curriculum of the Economics department at our university: financial mathematics, probability theory, and financial statistics, each of these are one semester courses. There is no doubt that the students need a solid basic knowledge acquired in highschool in order to become a good professional or to get a PhD degree.  \nIn the 1970s and ‘80s international surveys were carried out in the fields of natural science and mathematics measuring how students acquire disciplinary knowledge and how they can apply it in  \ncontexts similar to what has been learned in class. The OECD PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) investigates whether stude","cbCaifNRjXGJ56zm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifNRjXGJ56zm","pdf",100188,"English","# Results of a Comprehension Test in Mathematics\n## Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Hypotheses","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the research?\",\"answer\":\"To measure students’ independent thinking and problem-solving skills and to examine how they apply their knowledge to problems not directly connected to the curriculum.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is knowledge transfer emphasized in this study?\",\"answer\":\"Because research shows that knowledge transfer is not automatic and acquired knowledge is not immediately carried over to novel situations.\"},{\"question\":\"Who participated in the comprehension test and where?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates one hundred economic majors at Partium Christian University using exercises requiring deep understanding to solve.\"}]","RESULTS OF A COMPREHENSION TEST IN MATHEMATICS - Part 6 - Abstract | PDF",25]
