Standardized Assessments Of Intelligence And Development

Standardized cognitive and intellectual assessments allows researchers to assess individuals on their academic abilities (Bordonaro, 2001). Nevertheless, many researchers have revealed that the gaps within cognitive and intellectual assessment may be due to cultural bias (Schellenburg, 2004) As many standard intellectual and cognitive assessments have been developed for a dominant group such as the western culture. These intellectual and cognitive assessments are then utilized on other cultures which

Psychological Testing and Assessment of Adolescents An assessment involves administering and interpreting psychological tests and integrating this with current and past symptoms, observations, information about developmental, biological, social, educational, and life experiences (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2006). Educational assessments of adolescents are based on obtaining a profile of the child’s learning weaknesses as well as his or her strengths.

(Ghaziuddin, Bolyard, & Alessi, 1994) Wilson and Dyson (1982) targeted speech and language characteristics of children with Noonan Syndrome.

article “What do standardized tests actually test?” (2014) in the name of Marion Brady as quoted by Valerie Strauss, the topic of: are standardized tests accurately testing is discussed.

It is notable to mention that the individual’s attainment measured by general intelligence tests are indeed broader and the products of less formal and usually less recent learning experiences compared to the ones measured by standardized achievement tests (Aiken, 2003c). Cohen et al. (2013b) regarded that the primary purpose for this kind of measure is that it focuses on the test taker’s level of comprehension in the different subject matters. These types of tests are commonly structured to include

Paper 1 Intelligence has been identified in many different ways throughout history and varies between different cultures. The current idea of intelligence consists of intangible properties that include, but are not limited to, knowledge-based thinking, apprehending, adaptive purposeful striving, fluid-analytic reasoning, mental playfulness, and idiosyncratic learning (Krishnamurthy, 2015).

not intelligence tests are effective tools to assess intelligence is controversial. Yet, it is important that special educators know about the usefulness and limitations of the practiced intelligence assessments before planning interventions. Since theories can inform practice, Salvia, Ysseldyke, and Bolt (2013) introduce a model for assessing cognitive aspects of students by describing the theoretical underpinnings of the recent assessment of intelligence, which conceptualized intelligence as both

Creative and is it Measured by Intelligence Tests? Sydney DeCamp Caledonia Mumford Abstract Today’s education system has become focused on standardized intelligence testing and what works best for the majority. This system, although created to help the masses, is impersonal and only benefits a specific group of students who learn the best through testing. Those students who think creatively and use imagination are left behind. This is why intelligence tests are not accurate measurement
