Wybór kierunków studiów przez uczestników Olimpiady Języka Rosyjskiego

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the conclusions of the analysis of the "Survey of the Russian Language Olympiad participants" about the planned areas of studies by high school students and about the schools which support the development of students in terms of their abilities and interests. The research has shown that every third participant in the regional qualification for the Russian Language Olympiad would have opted for language studies. There is a noticeable downward trend, however, in the choice of philological studies within three years. Students from 37 schools in the Podlaskie Voivodship qualified for the second level of the Russian Language Olympiad, among them there were 61% of students representing schools outside of Białystok.
