This study examined university students knowledge of and attitudes (n = 378) toward biotechnology in Slovakia.We found a significant positive correlation between attitudes and the level of knowledge; however, although students enrolled in biology courses have better knowledge of biotechnology, their attitudes toward genetic engineering were similar than those of students who do not study biology. Females showed poorer knowledge and lower acceptance of genetically engineered products than did males. Overall, Slovakian students have poor knowledge and numerous misunderstandings about what genetic engineering means.
In Czech
Práca skúmala postoje a vedomosti slovenských vysokoškolských študentov (n=378)o biotechnológiách. Bola zistená pozitívna korelácia medzi postojmi a úrovňou vedomostí, podrobnejším skúmaním bolo zistené, že studenti biológie mali lepšie vedomosti o biotechnológiách, ale ich postoje ku genetickému výskumu boli podobne ako dosahovali nebiológovia. Dievčatá dosahovali horšie skóre vedomostí a vykazovali nižšiu úroveň akceptovania GMO ako chlapci. Celkovo možeme povedať, že slovenskí študenti majú slebé vedomosti a zistili sme u nich značné množstvo mylných predstáv o genetickom inžinierstve.
