Testy PISA i ich wpływ na system szkolnictwa w Gruzji
Abstract
The article discusses the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests and their
impact on the Georgian Education System. It analyzes the deplorable results of Georgian 15-yearolds
in PISA 2009 and investigates the reasons based on different reports. The article also discusses
the reasons for the temporary suspension of the project on the Georgian side. Since certain participatory
countries are dissatisfied with the attitudes of this program, the article also refers to the criticism
of PISA. The conclusion is that PISA and other international tests contain considerably important
information. If these data with a diagnostic feature are used for working out the education
policy in an appropriate way, they can become the key instrument for obtaining favourable results in
reforming the Education System. Therefore, PISA appears to be essential for Georgia too, as such
assessment gives an opportunity to concentrate on the national core curriculum and content analysis.
In order to estimate all the strengths and weaknesses of the Education System, it is quite reasonable
to conduct such surveys in every country. The article concludes with recommendations for PISA
2015 as to how to use the reports for further progress.
