Summary/Abstract: In the modern world, we tend to make the teaching process as a synthesis of theory and practice, and we want that young people, after completing their education, become qualified for their future job in every respect. Unfortunately, it happens very often that even the best students do not find their way out properly, or their work is not as effective as expected according to the results they have achieved during their studies. There are many reasons for such situations which we should investigate and find adequate solutions for them.In this paper we raised the issue of future educators’ familiarity with program contents in the field of development of early mathematical concepts. We provided the answer to the question 60of whether future educators know what their future job is and what is expected of them. In the research, we used the survey technique. The research was transferable, and the results gave a clear picture of the current situation at the Department of Preschool Education when it comes to the development of early mathematical concepts.The survey sample consisted of students from the first to the fourth year of the first cycle andthe first year of the second cycle of the Department of Preschool Education at the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University of Sarajevo. Thus, the sample consisted of 102 students in total, and among them 32 students of the first year, 20 students of the second year, 19 students of the third year, 18 students of the fourth year and 13 students of the first year of the second cycle. Out of this, there were 101 female students and 1 male student.
