- The current trend at universities is to offer to students the study programs with the subjects taught in English.
We are interested in the facts what competences and associated learning outcomes can be achieved by the students.
Therefore, the main objective of this paper is the pedagogical and statistical analysis of the study outcomes.
We have decided to compare the examination results of the selected subjects and determine whether study outcomes of the subjects are statistically dependent.
We have obtained the data for the analysis from the compulsory subjects of Mathematics (taught in English and in the Slovak language) and from the subject
English for Specific Purposes I. We have analysed the results of the study groups from the Faculty of European Studies and Regional Development at
the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra.
