In Tunisia, calculus is a fundamental component of mathematics curriculum in high school and a major requirement at the advanced level in the mathematics bachelor’s degree and in engineering. Yet, paving the way for a passage between high school calculus and university calculus remains a challenge for both mathematics education researchers and practitioners. In this paper, we address this issue by focusing on shared features between high school and university expectations in students’ learning of calculus, and on the main impediments for high school to meet university requirements. We also propose an experimental method to help high school teachers to reconsider their actions according to insufficiencies in students’ preparation for university calculus. The results show that it is possible to find a linkage between high school and university calculus so as to reduce differences and enhance students’ transition.

在突尼斯，微积分是高中数学课程的基本组成部分，也是数学学士学位和工程学高级水平的主要要求。然而，为高中微积分和大学微积分之间的交流铺平道路仍然对数学教育研究人员和从业人员都构成了挑战。在本文中，我们通过关注高中和大学对学生学习微积分的期望的共同特征以及高中满足大学要求的主要障碍来解决这个问题。我们还提出了一种实验方法，可以帮助高中教师根据学生对大学微积分的准备不足来重新考虑自己的行为。
