摘要：The PISA 2009 results in Serbia show a big improvement in reading literacycompared to 2006 – the average score is 41 points higher, whichis equal to the effect of a whole year of schooling in OECD countriesand represents the second highest improvement ever recorded in a PISAstudy. In the present paper, we discuss potential reasons for such a bigimprovement based on analysis of the PISA 2009 reading achievementsin different countries, with a special focus on countries from the sameregion (Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania and Albania).The analysis shows that the largest part of the improvement was realisedat lower achieving levels, suggesting that the dominant method of teachingin schools is a traditional method oriented towards the acquisitionand reproduction of academic knowledge. Findings of data analysis supportthe conclusion that the improvement is mainly the result of certaincontextual factors, such as higher student motivation and a high level ofofficial support for the PISA study in Serbia, rather than representing areal improvement in the quality of education.
