The aim of this review article is to describe Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), summarize the basic findings and discuss possible implications for educational policy in the Czech Republic. We also discuss to what extent results from PIAAC complement empirical evidence from PISA, TIMSS and similar students’ assessments. We ask whether (and what) PIAAC reveals beyond these research projects. The article starts with a description of PIAAC methodology and it basic features. Second, we describe the results of the Czech population vis-à-vis other countries involved in the assessment. Third, we focus upon several core findings of PIAAC. In the final part we discuss implications of the findings for educational policy in the Czech Republic. PIAAC has confirmed several findings revealed in PISA and TIMSS, e.g. strong impact of socio-economic background upon students’ performance. Other findings, however, rather contradicted PISA and TIMSS. For instance, it was found that the results of Czechs aged 16–25 (which were under the international average in PISA and TIMSS) are above the average. PIAAC has been found to be unique and indispensable source of information, complementing students’ assessments. Although results in PISA and TIMSS are usually taken as a final and definitive indicator of the country’s stock of human capital, PIAAC has clearly demonstrated that at the age of 15 the competencies are far from definitely formed.

The aim of the article is to compare the situation of lifelong learning in Central European countries. Six countries were selected for the study: Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, and the Czech Republic. The research is based on data from the International Survey of Adult Skills (OECD PIAAC). Respondents 30 years old and over were selected for analysis because a significant proportion of younger people have not yet completed their formal studies. According to the analysis, Estonian adults are most often involved in lifelong learning activities, while representatives from the Slovak Republic are the least involved. In all countries, those with above high school education are the most likely to participate in lifelong learning activities compared to those with lower than high school education and with high school education. In different countries, different kinds of learning activities prevail.

In 1989 – 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was an auspicious moment for structural changes in education systems in the new independent countries, which had been under control of the Soviet government for a long time. About three decades have passed since the beginning of the education reforms in the post-Soviet countries and several generations who studied within the framework of the reformed systems starting from the first grade have already grown up. Therefore, it is relevant to estimate the results of the reforms. One of the possible measures for estimating the results of the education system or education reform is the change in population literacy within certain education systems. The purpose of the article is to compare the results of education reforms of the post-Soviet countries based on the population literacy considered as a result of former learning. The data of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) organised by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are used for literacy comparison. The OECD PIAAC survey databases of Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia were used for comparison of the results of the reforms implemented in the post-Soviet countries. Data analysis showed that at the lower and upper secondary education levels, the most positive results of the education reform were observed in Lithuania, while in Russia, the results were negative.

The study presents the results of PIAAC measurements and focuses on teachers as mediators of education and their achievements in literacy and skills in reading and writing at home and at work. Multiple regression analysis is used in the research to examine the influence of independent variables - earnings, age, gender and reading index - on the level of teachers’ literacy. Values of the coefficient of determination vary from 0.05 (Poland) to 0.23 (Belgium). The results are compared at the country level and show the position of Slovak teachers in these measurements. Also, they highlight the most successful countries and point to the countries with positions similar to Slovakia. Based on the research findings, it can be stated that the higher level of literacy is associated with a higher level of writing and reading activities at work more than at home. An important finding is also the result that in all countries, the literacy level declines with age.

The study deals with the reflection of a parallel interpretation of the results of the international survey of reading literacy among fifteen year old pupils (PISA) and the adult population (PIAAC). In the present work possible key issues in the field of literacy in Czech population are identified. The results worse than European standard, which were reflected in the youngest age group surveyed are also discussed, further the issue of different levels of literacy among the adult population is defined (with a focus on defining the border selected a specific category of research sample of readers. PISA deals with fifteen year old students of elementary school, the survey PIAAC deals with a group of sixteen to twenty-four year old readers). The main objective of this study is to reflect on the possibilities of linking the outputs of both readership surveys, such as functional literacy and school practice in our Czech environment.

The article focuses on the specific measurement, evaluation and validation of social competencies of an adaptive and emancipatory-critical character. The paper discusses the difficulties with the validation of the enumerated kinds of competencies. The author distinguishes three approaches to the study, evaluation and validation of social competencies. First of them is the description of competencies according to the acknowledged international standards and programs, as well as the description of professional competencies with the use of checklists. In case of the second approach, some standardized measurements tools are used, such as test and self-evaluation questionnaires. The third approach is based on a competence portfolio.

Human capital, together with financial and material resources, is an important factor in the economy of society. Human capital can be defined in different ways, but knowledge, abilities, skills, competences, or literacy, in general, are essential parts. It can be said that literacy is the cornerstone of human capital. According to the basic principles of the theory of employment, factors such as education, gender, age, health, marital status, and emigration have a major impact on participation in the labour market. However, in scientific discourse, there is a strong emphasis on these factors and the importance of literacy. However, there is a lack of studies specifically analysing the links between literacy and participation in the labour market. In particular, it is important to analyse whether literacy is equally important for participation in the labour market in different regions and countries. This article analyses the link between participation in the labour market and literacy in the Central European region. Six Central European countries are analysed based on the International Survey of Adult Skills OECD PIAAC. An analysis of the main parameters showing how a person participates in the labour market suggests there is a link between a person’s literacy and their working status, type of employment contract, managerial position, and economic sector.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest oszacowanie stopy zwrotu z dodatkowego roku edukacji na poziomie wyższym w Polsce w podziale na grupy kierunków kształcenia. Dla celów analizy empirycznej wykorzystano porównawczo dwa zbiory danych: Badania aktywności ekonomicznej ludności (BAEL) oraz Międzynarodowego badania kompetencji osób dorosłych (PIAAC). Skorzystanie z drugiego zbioru pozwoliło na rozwiązanie problemu metodologicznego, który pojawił się wskutek pominięcia zdolności osób pracujących w równaniu płac. W artykule szacowano stopy zwrotu z dodatkowego roku kształcenia wykorzystując standardowe oraz rozszerzone równania płac Mincera z korektą ze względu na nielosową selekcję do próby pracujących. Na tej podstawie uzyskano wyniki, które wskazują na dość istotne zróżnicowanie premii z kształcenia według grup kierunków, przy czym najwyższe jej wartości uzyskano dla grup kierunków „Technika, przemysł, budownictwo” oraz „Zdrowie i opieka społeczna”.

The aim of the study was to estimate the rate of return of an additional year of schooling in Poland by fields of study. Two datasets were used for the comparison of results: the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The PIAAC dataset presents a unique opportunity to address important methodological issue of omitted ability bias. The rates of return of an additional year of schooling were estimated using standard and augmented Mincer wage equations, controlling the non-random selection of the sample of employees. The results show some variation in the rates of return by fields of study, indicating the highest returns for engineering, technology and construction, as well as for health.

The presented study addresses the issue of the concept of lifelong learning based on Polish experience, on the basis of the latest research: the international programme: Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (Study on an international scale, realised for the first time in Poland on a sample of more than 9 thousand people) and Polish reports: Report on the State of Education 2013-Teachers Matter, and Social Diagnosis 2013-the Labour Market and Social Exclusion in the Context of the Perception of Poles. The presented study and the authors’ considerations revolve around the concepts of: learning, schooling, undertaking educational activity by adults, which, as clearly indicated by the research results, constitutes an insignificant part of Polish society. This situation puts our country on one of the last places in the ranking of highly developed countries.

The aim of this paper is to describe the current state of selected mathematical achievements of Polish students and the most significant social aspects related to mathematical education and its role in the contemporary world. First, the importance of mathematical competences will be discussed with their role in the curriculum of young people entering the labour market. Then, a diagnosis of the state of mathematics teaching in Poland and the results of key educational research conducted in this field (mainly PIAAC, PISA, TIMSS, and the results of external exams in Poland) will be presented. Finally, the so-called non-cognitive aspects related to mathematical education, such as math anxiety or the role of stereotypes, will be discussed.

Autor omawia zróżnicowanie językowe w Europie oraz politykę językową Unii Europejskiej w zakresie wspierania rozwoju języków ojczystych. Autor analizuje najnowsze badania PISA i PIAAC. Podkreśla znaczenie wielojęzyczności dla rozwoju kulturowego i społecznego Europy. Przywoływane statystyki dowodzą związku poziomu opanowania języka państwowego z osiąganiem zadowalającego poziomu życia i zdrowia przez obywateli Unii. Z kolei badania PISA służą do wskazania na priorytety i strategiczne cele Unii Europejskiej, starającej się regularnie zmniejszać odsetek 15-latków z najsłabszymi osiągnięciami w zakresie czytania i interpretacji w językach narodowych. Różnorodność językowa w Europie wymusza używanie kilku języków równolegle, niemniej bardzo istotne jest dobre opanowanie języka narodowego. Artykuł dowodzi, iż dobra znajomość języka ojczystego pozytywnie wpływa na późniejsze losy i udane projekty biograficzne młodzieży, co pokazują badania PIAAC.
