Is the Polish school system keeping pace with the digital revolution? Artificial intelligence in the context of the PISA and PIAAC results

Abstract

The increasingly widespread use of digital tools in teaching and learning is becoming one of the key factors shaping modern education systems. It is therefore particularly interesting to observe how different regions of the world are addressing this issue. The article examines the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in Polish education system. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative analysis of PISA and PIAAC reports with a qualitative review of policy documents, academic literature, and national strategies to identify the current status of Technology-Enhanced Learning in Poland, highlights challenges, factors which help to explain Poland’s relatively weak performance in PISA and PIAAC studies, proposes areas for improvement and potential fields for international collaboration.
