4. Conclusion
This study aims to compare the basic mathematic skills among different studying approaches of the university students. The correlation of the basic mathematic skills with studying approaches indicates that these skills have positive relation with the strategic approach and a negative significant relation with the surface approach. There is also a positive relationship between the basic mathematic skills and deep studying approach, although it is not
significant. Consideration of the analysis of correlation indicates the occurrence of variables together while the analysis of correlation does not indicate which group of students scored higher than the others. The cluster analysis makes it possible to classify the students into three groups. The one-way ANOVA analysis and multi-comparison of LSD confirm that the students with deep studying approach have higher basic mathematic skills than the students
with the surface and strategic studying approaches.
