Odwrócenie efektu Flynna i jego odbicie w edukacji: porównanie danych i możliwe kierunki dla przyszłych badań i działań


Przez lata wskaźniki zdolności poznawczych i kompetencji akademickich sugerowały, że zdolność ludzi do skutecznego radzenia sobie z otoczeniem ulega poprawie (nazwanej efektem Flynna). Ostatnie dowody sugerują, że ten trend może się zmieniać. To badanie analizuje dane uzyskane z Programu Międzynarodowej Oceny Uczniów (Program for International Student Assessment ) dla celowej próby grupy 9 krajów w ciągu ostatnich 6 lat i sugeruje, że rzeczywiście istnieją dowody na znaczny spadek kompetencji uczniów i umiejętności czytania, pisania i matematyki poza możliwymi względami ekonomicznymi i czynnikami krajowymi. Omówiono znaczenie wyników dla edukacji i jego potencjalne implikacje.
