O matematycznych wynikach polskich trzecioklasistów w badaniach TIMSS

In 2011, Polish schoolchildren participated in TIMSS research for the first time. The results, considering their mathematical skills, reflect well on the image of Polish primary education which is well known owing to some domestic research performed in recent years; the image which reveals that our schools do not issue to the children any mathematical challenges which would be appropriate to their capabilities, but rather proceed to limit their mathematical experiences and lower the level of expectations in relation to their mathematical competence.
