The Intelligence of School Children
Book • 1919
Lewis M. Terman's The Intelligence of School Children reports large-scale use of the Stanford–Binet intelligence tests in American schools, analyzing mental age, IQ, and their relation to school progress, retardation, and acceleration.
Drawing on extensive testing and follow-up studies, Terman argues for grading by mental age, early testing (especially in first grade), and differentiated curricula and vocational guidance.
He discusses feeble-mindedness, gifted children, test reliability and retesting, and practical classroom uses of tests.
The book influenced early educational policy, special classes, and the adoption of intelligence testing in schools and other institutions.
