Abstract

Abstract Currently, Ukraine is outlining a problem with the recruitment of students to the Faculty of Forestry. The solution to this problem is possible only if the necessity of transformation of the forestry industry and the corresponding transformation of the forestry education system are realised. Based on the study of scientific literature, the main motivating factors, according to which future students decide to become foresters, were identified. These factors were included in a questionnaire offered to first-year forestry students. The results of the questionnaire were compared with the data from the scientific articles. As a result, some aspects to pay attention to in order to increase the attractiveness of forestry as a field of study were identified. It was found that the predominant motivating factors for choosing a forestry profession are enjoyment of nature, recreation in nature, spending time in the fresh air, concern for the environment and interest in forests. Salary of forestry specialists proved to be the strongest factor for hesitation in choosing the profession. The next step of our research will probably be to investigate the opinion of Ukrainian students about the quality of educational programmes.

影响乌克兰学生选择林业专业的因素是什么?

目前，乌克兰正在概述一个问题，招收学生到林业学院。只有认识到林业产业转型的必要性和相应的林业教育体制转型，才能解决这一问题。在科学文献研究的基础上，确定了未来学生决定成为林农的主要激励因素。这些因素包括在一份提供给一年级林业学生的问卷中。问卷调查的结果与科学论文的数据进行了比较。结果，确定了一些需要注意的方面，以便增加林业作为一个研究领域的吸引力。研究发现，选择林业专业的主要激励因素是享受大自然、在大自然中休闲、花时间呼吸新鲜空气、关心环境和对森林的兴趣。事实证明，林业专家的薪酬是导致他们在选择该职业时犹豫不决的最大因素。我们研究的下一步可能是调查乌克兰学生对教育项目质量的看法。
