Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Standard Tests as Aids in School Supervision, Vol. 8: Illustrated by a Study of the Stoughton, Wisconsin, Schools
The use of standard tests in the schools has become very common. In many cases, perhaps in the larger number, the work has ended with a mere evaluation of general conditions a comparison of the showings of the various rooms with the standards. Two possible reasons account for this. First, the procedure to be followed in such analyses has not been determined in any complete way. Second, the amount of detailed work necessary for a complete analysis of the scholastic and intelligence levels of a considerable number of pupils is very great. The present study constitutes an attempt to exemplify in concrete form a procedure that may be used in a more detailed analysis of school conditions than is ordinarily attempted. Since the work has been completed, the imperfections of many of the methods used stand out clearly. It is hoped, however, that others may be encouraged 'to perfect a procedure that may be far more helpful in the work of our schools.
