Synopsis
Explore how intelligence testing shaped elementary school organization.
This report examines whether promoting and classifying students by group intelligence test results can improve school efficiency compared with traditional methods.
The study, conducted in eight Chicago public elementary schools from 1920 to 1922, measures how a flexible, test-based system affects progress, achievement, and overall learning. Readers will see how teachers applied tests, how students were grouped into fast, average, and slow sections, and how outcomes compared to a control group using standard practices.- How promotion and placement decisions were made using group intelligence tests versus final marks and teacher judgments.
- Evidence on progress, achievement ages, and the relationship between intelligence and learning gains.
- Details on data collection, test administration, scoring, and reliability considerations.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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.
