Mathematics is one of the main subjects conducted in the first year of economic studies. At the Faculty of Applied Informatics at the University of Economics in Kraków, mathematics accompanies students not only in the first year, but also throughout the entire course of studies, being an essential factor of either their further success or problems in studying. Therefore, both the proper preparation in this field acquired in secondary school, as well as the awareness of the importance of this subject, are essential factors influencing the efficiency of the undertaken studies. In this article, I will present the results of the survey research conducted among the first-year students at the Faculty of Applied Informatics at the UEK on the awareness of the necessity for mathematical knowledge in the process of efficient studying. I will also discuss the results of determining their actual mathematical skills acquired in secondary school on the basis of the research conducted in the academic years 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 with the use of exemplary exercises from the matura final exam at the basic and extended level. On this basis, the conclusions serving as the starting point for further research on mathematical classes in the first year of studies have been drawn. The obtained information can prove useful for academic teachers in the proper conducting of classes on mathematical subjects. The article also contains general reflections and conclusions on the mathematical education of students of economic studies.

In the last twenty years the number of students and universities in Poland has increased more than four times. This quantitative increase has meant for the didactics of mathematics the need to reduce the level of education. Currently, this upward trend is in reverse and the higher education sector, practically in all Europe, can expect reductions. The current efforts of policy makers and academic staff are focused on improving the quality of education in order – among other reasons – to stay competitive. Shifting focus from quantity and efficiency to quality of education can be an opportunity but also a threat. The problem is how to understand the quality of education and how it can be put into pedagogical practice. Maths education has its own specific conditions. Taking them into account may result not only in improving the quality of didactics of mathematics, but more widely – improving the quality of what is understood as the process of higher education. The article gives an overview of the changes taking place in the Polish higher education sector over the last two decades and of the various definitions of the quality of education. It also presents some conclusions on the relation between the interpretation of the quality of education and didactics of mathematics.

Podczas gdy współczesny dyskurs naukowy oraz debaty edukacyjne są przesycone nie zawsze efektywnymi pytaniami o treści i metody nauczania matematyki, fundamentalne z punktu widzenia jednostki pytania o cel, sens i wartość nauczania i uczenia się matematyki zdają się pozostawać w cieniu. W artykule podjęto temat humanistycznych aspektów matematyki. Zaproponowano przyjęcie wielowymiarowej perspektywy w badaniu zagadnień związanych z edukacją matematyczną: ontologicznej, epistemologicznej oraz aksjologicznej. Nacisk został położony na ostatni wymiar. Przywołano cele kształcenia matematycznego w ujęciu Zofii Krygowskiej, a także przedstawiono definicje i klasyfikacje wartości odgrywających istotną rolę w aktywności matematycznej zarówno ucznia, jak i nauczyciela. Artykuł kończy refleksja na temat potrzeby spojrzenia na edukację matematyczną z perspektywy aksjologiczno-teleologicznej i prowadzenia w Polsce badań z zakresu dydaktyki matematyki, które by ten wymiar uwzględniały.

While contemporary scientific discourse and educational debates are suffused with, not always effective, questions on both the content and methods of teaching mathematics, questions about the aim, meaning and value of mathematics education, fundamental from the perspective of the learner, seem to remain in the background. This article addresses the humanistic aspects of mathematics. It proposes the adoption of a multidimensional perspective in the study of issues related to mathematics education, encompassing ontological, epistemological and axiological dimensions, with an emphasis on the latter. Zofia Krygowska’s objectives of mathematics education are recalled together with definitions and classifications of the values playing an important role in mathematics related activities of students and teachers. The article concludes with a reflection on the urgent need of looking at mathematics education from the axiological and teleological perspectives, and the importance of conducting research on mathematics education in Poland that would take these dimensions into account.
