There is no doubt that in recent years the focus of the test-driven policies applied in the context of both formal and social criteria for evaluating students and schools has shifted decisively towards tangible results associated with the tests results. You can even tell that the phenomenon of "testing obsession" has dominated everyday life of the school and the identity of the students and has replaced student-centering learning. The author of the article considers these problems against the background of theory and reality.plinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesstestsneoliberalismculture of testingstudent-centered learningtest-driven policiesArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/se.2015.36.2
