Student?s subjective difficulty of calculus curriculum

Original language description

Mathematical knowledge can be distinguished into two types of curriculum, depending on evoked type of memory: the semantic memory and procedural memory. We assume that there are two boundary types of students: one preferring semantic memory learning andsecond preferring procedural memory learning. The aim of this study was to determine whether it is possible to identify two types of students based on the subjective assessment of difficulty .There are presented partial results of the project REFIMAT inthis article.Can be students divided into several clusters based on their subjective assessment of difficulty of two types of curriculum? Do these clusters correspond with the expected types of memory used for two parts of curriculum? Are current resultsconsistent with the results of previous study in subject of discreet math (Haviger, 2011)? Research method is questionnaire. Method of data analysis are descriptive analysis, cluster analysis, analysis of variance. Research sample: N=258
