Abstrakt

The aim of the survey was to find out if there is a difference in the perception of relevance of the global issues to their respective study fields between students of economic and ecological study fields at four Slovak universities and if there is such difference among the students of the four faculties. We used an on-line questionnaire developed in the project Ethical Internacionalism in Higher Education Research Project (http://eihe.blogspot.sk/). The responses were analysed in the program Statistika 12. We found out that there is a difference in the perception of global topics between the students of Business and Ecology. The results will be used to innovate the study programs at the respective faculties and similar faculties.
