Stan wiedzy studentów pierwszego roku geografii UMCS i UW z zakresu meteorologii i klimatologii

The aim of the study was to compare meteorological and climatological knowledge among first year students of geography at two universities: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin and Warsaw University (UW) in Warsaw. Due to the curriculum changes in secondary schools, as well as different conditions of recruiting candidates, the level of knowledge of students in the coming years, as well as in various colleges and universities, may be different. Identical surveys were conducted twice among first year students of first level full-time studies: at the beginning of November 2014 and at the beginning of June 2015, which allowed knowledge changes evaluation at the beginning of the study and after the first year of studying geography.The problem was a matter of self-assessment of knowledge by the respondents, as many of them are not able to correctly identify it. It was found that there was a marginal increase in the level of knowledge of students of Warsaw University and the UMCS.The aim of the study was to compare meteorological and climatological knowledge among first year students of Geography at two universities: UMCS in Lublin and Warsaw University in Warsaw.
