Summary.A symposium on “Recent Research on Maladjustment” was convened by Maurice Chazan and chaired by Professor Jack Tizard at the Annual Conference of the Education Section of the British Psychological Society in September, 1967. Summaries of the four papers in the symposium are presented here, together with a post‐script which Professor Tizard has

摘要:

Summary.The members of staff of an English secondary modern school completed a battery of tests, one of which was the 16 Personality Factor Test of Cattell. The head teacher completed the test battery as well as rating each assistant teacher on nine aspects of teaching competence. These ratings were highly inter‐correlated and on factor analysis, two disproportionate principal components emerged. Scores for the similarity of the personality profiles of head teacher and teacher were calculated. These were then compared with the head teacher's rating of the teachers' teaching ability, of their relations with the head teacher and of their relations with staff colleagues. It appeared that teachers with profiles very similar to, or very different from that of the head teacher, usually had higher ratings for teaching ability and for social competence The teachers with the lowest ratings for teaching had a tougher, self‐confident unconventionality which would tend to make them independent of the head teac

摘要:

Summary.Suggestions are offered for facilitating the standardization and interpretation of test scores. By using a table for transformating percentiles into equivalent normalized standard scores it is possible to apply a simple approximate test for a normal distribution. If the graph showing the relation of the raw scores to the normalized standard score is a straight line, then the raw scores are themselves normally distributed. The same table enables the order of difficulty of test items to be more precisely described so that a selection of items can be made which will produce a normal distribution of scores in the final form of the test.

摘要:

Summary.Seventy profoundly deaf school‐leavers were rated by their teachers for speech, lip‐reading, written work and manual communication, and all but four of them were given a comprehensive battery of nineteen standardised tests of cognitive abilities. Pure tone audiometric responses were also recorded. Intercorrelations of all variables were calculated and the correlation matrix was subjected to a principal components analysis. The resultant general and bipolar factors seemed an inappropriate description of the cognitive abilities tested and graphical rotation was undertaken to obtain more meaningful configurations. Orthogonal factors of non‐verbal reasoning, written vocabulary, numerical ability, manual communication and residual hearing were identified. The association of speech development with residual hearing and the absence of significant negative correlations between all variables was noted. Some educational implications of these results are suggested, namely: (1) the techniques for the development of speech in deaf children are notably unsuccessful with the majority of those who have no usable residual hearing; (2) the alleged incompatibility of oral and manual skills is not observable statistically as a negative correlation and (3) the alleged negative correlation between performance test results and verbal attainment does not obtain but the low positive relationship found implies that current educational methods do not effectively gear the intelligence of deaf children to scholastic achiev

摘要:

Summary.Three scales measuring attitudes to education were administered to a representative sample of 300 teachers. The results were analysed by sex, age, political party, religious affiliation and type of school. Tests of significance were applied, both to the relation between these biographical categories and to differences in attitude between the groups of teachers.

摘要:

Summary.The performance of candidates in a university entrance test in English was analysed in terms of arts‐science choice in G.C.E. Advanced level subjects, type of school and size of sixth form. Generally, arts candidates did better than science candidates, and girls did better than boys. A significant second‐order interaction between school type, sixth‐form size and sex was rev
