Lesson 17 Learning to Live 学会生活婚礼司仪主持词
The fact that we are not sure what 'intelligence' is, nor what is pasd on, does not prevent us from finding it a very uful working concept, and placing a certain amount of reliance on tests which 'measure' it.
In an intelligence test we take a sample of an
individual's ability to solve puzzles and problems of various kinds, and if we have taken a reprentative sample it will allow us to predict successfully the level of performance he will reach in a wide variety of occupations.
This became of particular importance when, as a result of the 1944 Education Act, condary schooling for all became law, and grammar schools, with the exception of a small number of independent foundation schools, became available to the whole population. Since the number of grammar schools in the countrycould accommodate at most approximately 25 per cent of the total child
population of eleven-plus, some kind of lection had to be made. Narrowly academic examinations and tests were felt, quite rightly, to be heavily weighted in favour of children who had had the advantage of highly-academic primary schools and academically biad homes. Intelligence tests were devid to counteract this narrow specialization, by introducing problems which were not bad on specifically scholastically-acquired knowledge. The intelligence test is an attempt to asss the general ability
of any child to think, reason, judge, analy and syntiesize by prenting him with situations, both verbal and practical, which arewithin his range of competence and understanding.
