dc.description The changes in society require revision of the content of higher education. Mathematics as a classical subject has played an important part in higher education until now, especially in engineering education. The introduction of mathematics IT programmes<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>(MathCad, MathLab, Matematica, Maple…) in labour market caused the reduction of the practical application of the classical mathematics, therefore it is important to draw attention to the development of mathematical competences. The theoretical part of the paper deals with the notion of competence, its aspects and types, considers the question of the essence of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>mathematics, examines </span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">general competences driven teaching of mathematics, describes </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-GB">organisational model underlying the curriculum in mathematics that is based on the division of the content of mathematics into levels.
