Book Description
Excerpt from An Experimental-Critical Study of the Problem of Grading and Promotion It is a significant fact that investigators who have dealt with the different aspects of the problem of grading and promotion have apparently never failed to find that the more deeply one enters into the study of this problem, the more one is aware of the needs of individual and intensive studies. Thus Thorndike1 notes that the school histories of individual pupils are the proper data for measuring the unequal lengths of the different grades; and he points out several inadequacies in his own extensive study. Ayres2 notes that grade distribution is the result of such diverse elements, that without the most careful analysis, conclusions as to any of these elements are liable to go astray. The fact is, we need many investigations of each type before we can hope for a definite solution of the serious problem of grading and promotion. We shall have to have a multitude of facts that call for further study. With no thought therefore of being able to settle the matter, it is the aim in the present study to approach the subject of grading and promotion from the intensive standpoint, with the hope of being able to throw some light upon the problem.
