Excerpt from The Use of Intelligence Tests as a Basis of School Organization and Instruction
The Problem. The experiment described in this bulletin was carried on in eight elementary schools in the city of Chicago. It was an attempt to answer the following question: What is the effect upon the efficiency of elementary schools of promoting and classify ing pupils chiefly upon their mental ages and intelligence quotients as determined by group intelligence tests rather than according to the traditional method? It is recognized that this is really a double problem involving the question of a flexible system of promotion and classification upon any basis as compared with a non - flexible system, and also the question of using the results of group intelligence tests rather than some other basis for promotion and classification. The justification for combining these two questions is that the use of the results from group intelligence tests for the purposes men tioned above necessarily involves a flexible system and hence the two questions may be considered as one from the standpoint of practical school administration.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a valuable study on the effects of promoting and classifying elementary school pupils based on intelligence quotient (IQ) and mental age rather than traditional grading methods. The author conducted a two-year experiment in eight Chicago schools, comparing the academic progress and achievements of pupils in experimental schools using the IQ-based method with those in control schools using traditional methods. The results challenge the assumption that the IQ-based method leads to greater student achievement, as both groups demonstrated similar progress rates and achievement levels. However, the study highlights the complexity of factors affecting student progress and emphasizes the need for educators to consider a range of variables, including teachers' experience and students' non-cognitive abilities, when making placement decisions.
