In this paper we present the results of a research focused on the perception of Project Based Learning (PBL) by students at university and high schools. As the research method we used an anonymous questionnaire. The research file consisted of 403 respondents. A comparison of the answers from university and high school students showed a positive trend in the wider involvement of PBL in the teaching process over the last years. From the point of view of economics students, PBL is evaluated positively.
The paper presents outcomes of a study on the levels of performance anxiety in Slovak school and university students in adolescence and early adulthood from a gender perspective and depending on their educational stage. The research sample consisted of 589 respondents, 270 students of secondary schools and 319 students of the Economic University. The data was collected using a standardized questionnaire KSAT [13] and brainstorming method. The following hypotheses were tested: 1) there are statistically significant differences in the level of anxiety between males and females; 2) performance anxiety decreases with age. Our research didn’t confirm the direct impact of sex on stage fright; nor did it prove that performance anxiety decreases with age. A statistically significant difference in the level of stage fright between males and females was found only in the second-year university students (p-value = 0.0001).In our pedagogical practice, we will focus on the development and implementation of special strategies for overcoming stage fright that would fit every person.
