Intelligence Tests and School Reorganisation by Lewis Terman ~ Full Audiobook [science]
About this episode
Intelligence Tests and School Reorganisation by Lewis Terman audiobook.
Genre: science
In Intelligence Tests and School Reorganisation, psychologist Lewis M. Terman makes the case that the modern school can no longer rely on age, intuition, or tradition to place students and plan instruction. Drawing on the early rise of standardized mental measurement, Terman explains what intelligence tests can and cannot tell educators, then turns to the practical question: how should a school system change once it begins measuring differences in learning rate and academic readiness? Through clear examples and policy-minded argument, he explores grouping and promotion, identification of students who need remedial support, opportunities for rapid advancement, and the design of special classes and curricula that match students' abilities. Terman also confronts the administrative stakes - staffing, record keeping, and the promises and risks of using test data to guide decisions that affect real children and families. Written for superintendents, principals, teachers, and civic leaders, this book captures a pivotal moment in educational psychology, when measurement was offered as a tool for both efficiency and fairness, and when schools were being asked to justify how they serve every student.
