Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the possibility of predicting academic success in junior high students through standardized tests, a topic rarely examined before its publication. The author, a pioneer in educational measurement, offers a three-pronged approach: entrance exams, teacher estimates, and school marks. The findings challenge conventional wisdom by casting doubt on the accuracy of college entrance exams in foretelling college performance, exposing the low efficiency of teachers in selecting students for exams, and revealing school marks as an unreliable basis for prognosis. Instead, this book advocates the use of standardized educational and psychological tests for a more precise and consistent method of predicting students' academic trajectories. The insights provided by this study have significantly influenced educational practices, demonstrating the value of standardized testing in shaping students' educational experiences and outcomes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
