Abstract

In recent years, the Mathematics curriculum of pre-university education in Albania has undergone several reforms, which reflected changes in teaching and learning methods, but also in the reduction or expansion of various teaching topics. As a result, geometric topics have been the subject of these implemented reforms. Mainly, it is focused on geometric transformations, polygons, circles, geometric bodies, and two-dimensional vectors. Meanwhile, the curriculum of Geometry in programs such as Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics has not been revised by this reform. This paper aims to investigate the situation and to give ideas on methods and ways that have the potential to transform and reduce this gap that has been created in the treatment of Geometry in pre-university and university education.
