Our goal is to check with quantitative methods how correct our presumptions formulated during our teaching experience were. In order to get an answer to this question, we conducted a survey among third-year students at our college about their general and scientific concepts as well as about the way they typically think.application/pdfanalogyprobability approachcorrelation thinkingscientific conceptgeneral conceptintuitioneventcertain eventimpossible eventprobabilitymultiplication eventfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessJudit Szitányihttps://doi.org/10.5485/TMCS.2012.0275Teaching Mathematics and Computer Science110Teach.
