Testing for Intelligence
Society as a whole place so much inferences on children and what they know and how they are seen and rated as a result of their development. As educators can not base the child's intelligence on assessments that just cover a few domains of development. I feel that it so important to take the time to look at each domain of development as we assess children. The assessments help the families of our students look for the help that the children may need to help them live a normal and productive life.
There are a number of assessment test that help us as teachers pinpoint the students need for services to help them to overcome developmental delays so they can live a normal life. The assessments also help us to determine and promote exceptional students that have a higher than normal IQ get the educational developmental services that will help them to succeed beyond measures.
There are assessments that assess all areas of development. Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence- Revised (WPPSI-R) is a standardized test for children ages 41/2 to 6. It assesses areas of language and perception.This test aces the cognitive development of students. Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment (TBA) is an informal assessment is for children birth through 6. Through play children can be assessed in areas of cognition, social-emotional, communication and language and sensorimotor.
The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) is for ages birth to 19. The purpose of the test is to assess social competence. The areas of assessment include: communication, daily living, socialization, and motor skills. This assessment help determine children;s ability to adapt to their enviroment and how they see and live their lives, (http://www.ldonline.org/, 2017).
Students in Finland Finland has scored firstor second in mathematics pn the past four administration of the PISA and has the smallest variance acreoss schools in Finland, (www.mwera.org/MWER/volumes/v25/issue1-2/v25n1-2-Hendrickson). The educators do not test children on what is seen as test taking intervals based on each age by all students. Finland only test students if they decide to further their education in their future and only every three years. This helps children and their families to take away the stress that students feel to have good test scores. the children are relaxed and they succeed and gain high scores and improve with their development as well as test taking.
