Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a comprehensive study on the subject of educational research, reviews the work of the Oakland Department of Research and its contribution to the field of educational psychology. The author explores the use of standardized psychological and achievement tests in understanding individual differences among children, arguing for their use as guidance tools to assist teachers and administrators in tailoring education to each child's needs. Through a series of comparative studies of Oakland's schools, the author explores the impact of socio-economic and administrative factors upon student outcomes, such as grade repetition and acceleration. The author argues for the use of mental testing and standard achievement tests to segregate students into special classes based on their abilities. Special attention is given to the issue of retardation in early grades, with the author arguing that a significant number of children are held back due to factors other than intellectual ability, calling into question the quality and appropriateness of early childhood education in the Oakland public schools. Overall, this book provides a valuable historical account of the state of educational research in the early 20th century, highlighting the tensions between standardized testing and individualized education, and offering insights into the ongoing debate on the purpose and methods of public education in a democratic society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780332218823_0
