The paper presents the results of a pilot study on post-secondary school students' interest in geography itself and geography university studies as well as an approach to geography as a scientific discipline. The continuous drop in post-secondary students' population poses a problem to universities, including the field of geography, therefore the research findings may be the support for taking steps intended to counteract the decline in geography studies popularity.

Variety of assessment forms in teaching geography

100%
the assessment is integral element of process of teaching and learning. The state important instrument of passing on information about effects of school activity, both pupils, as and the teachers, and the school is the place the opinion of achievements in which be holds unceasingly. They in period of transformation of system education the change underwent both the conditions, as and the ways of estimating, classifying and the promoting the pupils. The main aim of work is qualification of what form of assessment with geography is they be applied at schools peaceably with educational right as well as seeking new valid after introduction of next program basis. Proposals of different effective forms of assessment in range of geography in work were introduced also.
Post 1989, major changes have been made in the teaching of Geography at school. Until then, Geography was expected to provide pupils with "reliable" and "stable" information. For this reason, great emphasis was placed on the astronomical underpinnings of geography, characteristic features of the geographical environment (particularly geological structure and relief) as well as the role of natural conditions in agriculture. In the curriculum, economic issues received a conventional treatment, especially those related to countries of the Communist bloc, while population, social and political issues were only marginally discussed, partly to avoid indoctrination of youth. Contemporary curricula look at the world in a much more dynamic way and put more emphasis on social issues. Examples here include references to electoral geography, conflicts relating to the development of the Amazon Rainforest or various forms of NGO's aid to the poorest countries. All this means that programmes must be updated on a continuous basis. We are not only supposed to impart knowledge, but also to show pupils how to perceive problems in the world at large, how to observe and form their own opinions. The scope of geographic studies used to be spitefully summed up as being "from geology to theology''. Today, Geography at school is definitely evolving "from geology'' to a more or less satisfactory humanisation of teaching.
The article presents results of research the perception of Geography by pupils of lower-secondary schools. Examinations were conducted by students of geography during teaching practice at schools in major cities of the Silesian Voivodeship. In the ranking of the importance of school subjects Geography is located in the center of the list, whereas in the category of „liked” mathematical-natural subjects it is the second after Biology. In the upper forms this school subject becomes more and more „indifferent”. The most liked contents by pupils of the lower secondary schools are as follows: the own region, the regional geography of world and astronomical issues. On the other hand the most difficult plots are connected with a geological history of the Earth and socio-economic issues of world. The decided majority of pupils thinks that the geographical knowledge is useful in the life, and the signs of her usefulness is the sense of direction and the ability of map reading. In the majority of schools lessons of Geography undergo exclusively in the class room. The dream of pupils in relation to the geographical education are field exercises, more frequent watching films and using teaching games during lessons and the group work.
in the paper I present the changes in geographical education in context of political, economic and social transitions during the period of transformation. Teachers, who experienced consequences of those transitions, bring some elements of postcommunistic past to their ways of thinking and acting in neoliberal present times. Coexistence of two axio-normative systems implies uncertainty and tension in teachers' didactic and educational work, as well as force them to take up the difficult decisions. From the moral perspective those decisions focus on choosing between the ideal of perfection and rightness or the personality perfection. The teachers bear the long-term responsibility in front of themselves and their students for the choices they made on the field of teaching geography.
According to the obtained results we can state that the surveyed group of junior school teachers know the assumptions on the project method but use this method of work with different frequency. The teachers are aware of same difficulties and restrictions concerning this method of work in reference not only to their own workshop but also to school conditions. They can identify the restricitng factors. The obligatory introduction of the project method to the third stage of eduction will increase its usage while teaching-learning practice but the question stili remains: will the effectivness of geography teaching increase? The answer to this question may only be obtained by conducting the survey in this field.
Unemployment, which also hits people with higher education, is one of the major socio-economic problems in Poland. This unfavourable situation is caused by the wrong conception of higher education which doesn't prepare graduates for employers' requirements. Curriculum strategies that have been followed contributed to the situation where many faculties at universities are perceived as the admission pass to professions poorly paid or even as those ones that don't give the opportunity of finding any job in the future. The author of this paper presents results of research performed among graduates of geographical studies in the system of two-stage studies (Bachelor's three-year studies and Master's two-year studies) and Master's five year-studies at Pedagogical University of Cracow. The main aims of this research were as follows: • Getting to know how graduates assess the competences acquired during their studies. These competences are regarded as the key ones in tuning research on a European scale; • Getting to know geographical studies graduates' plans, expectations and attitudes towards challenges of labour market. The results obtained proved that geography graduates, especially those with Bachelor's degree assessed most of the key competences as good and very good. Criteria which are taken into account while choosing a job are not dependent on money. The dominant criteria are the ability to join work with passions and the prospects for professional development. Respondents declared the intention to look for a job in the education sector and the civil service by means of the direct contact with an employer.

The objective of this paper is to assess and forecast (scenario) changes in effectiveness of geography teaching, taking place as a result of transformation of education system. Assessment of education system reform is based on analysis of the survey conducted among teachers and results of the tests taken by students in their second year in secondary junior schools in 2000 and 2010. The scenario assumes mainly a decrease of teaching level and education quality. Discrepancies between theoretical assumptions and school practice, both in relation to curricula, grading system, school-system funding, supervision and management in education are the main threats to decreasing effectiveness of teaching.
The aim of this paper is to examine whether the reform of the curriculum introduced in 1999 altered the extent and manner of presenting some selected geography topics, especially the problem of cultural diversity in Poland. On the basis of official documents on education and selected geography textbooks existing before and after 1999, the author sought to assess whether there have been any changes (both quantitative and qualitative) in the content and in the way they are presented in textbooks. The comparison has shown that the curriculum reform has not led to significant changes in school curricula, as regards the scope of the content. The analysis of textbooks has confirmed the hypothesis that the selection and scope of the content depends largely on the subjective assessment of its importance in geography teaching done by the author(s). Some authors consider these issues as important and worthy of wider discussion, while others only indicate or even ignore them, which in turn results in a great diversity of school textbooks.
Polish educational system is evolving together with the changes occurring in the world. However, in many cases, the pace of this evolution does not guarantee full equipping the graduate with the knowledge needed on the future job market. Certainly there are formed the basic skills which will be used by the youth in their future job. The aim of the article is the assessment of the place of geographic education (acquired knowledge and moulded skills) in creating vocational skills of the youth. The results of the research among the pupils of the last year of secondary school are presented in the article.
