This work is a continuation of the article (Biernacki, Czesak 2013), which examined the most recent results (2012) of the Program for International Student Assessment. It turned out that Polish students have significantly improved their results in general subjects, but have great difficulties with creative thinking (the results are below the median). Analysis of the results of examinations in mathematics for students of the first year of two departments confirmed that students have great difficulty with problem solving. The author proposes to encourage students through the use of exercises and labs to take more time to solve tasks that require creative thinking, especially those relating to real-world problems of physics and economics.

Based on the analysis of international exam results, which was carried out with OECD-PISA in mathematics among Polish students of gimnazjum (secondary school) in 2003-2009, and based on the results of the exam in mathematics among students of the first year in the University of Economics in Wroclaw in 2009-2012; the article shows that Polish education in mathematics is, unfortunately. Currently at the level typical for a communist system, i.e. one which is not developing the ability to solve new or sophisticated problems and not practicing new methods for these problems, and as a result, is not open to the needs of a market economy.

This paper discusses the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment and the results obtained by students of the Wroclaw University of Economics. Special emphasis was placed on mathematics. Polish students obtained much better results in the latest PISA edition in maths, science and reading when compared to previous editions and to the average results calculated for the OECD countries. Despite this fact the scores of Polish students in the Creative Problem Solving test were much worse than the average for the OECD countries. It is worth noting that the Polish education system has been undergoing dynamic changes which are correlated with political changes and with the increase of social need for participating in decision-making in the education of the young generations. Unfortunately, the pressure to achieve good results in exams means that teachers have started to teach test solving instead of problem solving. This was also shown in the edition of the PISA exam. The authors of the article propose to change the structure of the didactic process, especially at universities, in a way that would make it possible to increase the number of exercises and laboratory hours.
