Brooks WHAT PARENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TESTING The story is well known of how the French Minister of Public Instruction Commissioned Alfred Binet to construct a test for the identification of students' aptitude. The French were interested in individualized instruction based on ones ability to leam. Binet very scientifically developed a lest to discriminate between student potential. After much observation, of student behavior, he soon found himself opposing those philosophers who supported the id^ that intelligence is a fixed quantity. Lewis Terman of Stanford Universityand Henry Goddard of New Jersey believed Binet and were influenced in bringing the Binet Test to America. The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Goddard to administer the Binet Test to immigrants at the Receiving Station on Ellis Island. The results of the Test was astounding. The results showed that 87 percent of Russians. 83 percent of Jews, 80 percent of Hungarians, and 97 percent of Italians were feebleminded. PROBLEMS WITH STANDARDIZED TEST: the Substence: It is interesting to note that aliens deported for feeblemindedness rose by 350 percent in 1913. What a history of enlightment! in 1917. Another gathering of test data was given en masse to draftees. Analysis of the results immediately following the war resulted in their discriminatory use. The test (achievement test) needed further refinement of essentially the same content and format. And so goes the story of the abuse and misuse of the I.Q, Test that so destructively dealt with immigrants and minority groups in the early I900’s and during World War I, Many things could be said about standardized testing relative to substance. 1. Test content does not reflect local instructional objective or specific curriculum. 2. Much of the content is unimportant or irrelevant. 3. Test content measures mainly recall-type learning, neglecting the higher processes (analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating). 4. The test gives an incomplete picture of student learning progress. 5. Test vocabularies and illustrations are often unfamiliar to those who are not of white middle class cultures. Test are culturally and linguisticallv biased. 6. Structure format and structures are confused and confusing usuage. 7. The reporting, interpretations, and use of test results are harmful. •^Another important gem of knowledge that teachers should say to parents is that even though test are mathematically contrived (process of normalizing), there are problems that are inherent in test development in the areas of content, structure and usuage. WHAT SHAU WE TELL PARENTS; As soon as the I.Q. scare was somewhat beginning, then comes the Standardized Achievement Testing. The history of Standardized Achievement Testing is only less dismal than that of the I.Q. controversy. Probably the reason for developing the Standardized Achievement Test was to establish the profession of Psychology as a science. Edward L, Thorndike, the developer of the first formal achievement test, emphasized that the Nature of educational measurement is the same as that of all scientific measurement - identification, classification, quantification, and preduction. And so the course was set, a course that saw the development Psychometrics. of Now, the evaluation of student progress would be considered in the same realm with measuring tolerance of automobile pistons of the projectory of missiles. Students are now considered to be modalized, categorized, and quantified. And with that result, the guidance counselor is supposed to diagnose, and prescribe the ' appropriate curriculum to remedy all problems. The school is the agent to which parents have delegated part of the educational process. And like any other organization dealing with people, a school has many confidences to keep. Administrators. teachers, counselors are privy to this information. It is important that students should not be abused by such information that would abuse and demean them. Now what about test scores. Should parents be told their childrens test results? I’m going to answer that question now. So that emphasis can be focused on the logic, I believe that school personnel have a responsibility to parents. Parents have a right to know about their children's ability and performance. However, the information should be presented in knowledgeable terms that parents understand. Thursdoy. May, Jaycees complete SAM Pro ject The Pembroke Jaycees completed another one of their S.\M (Senior Age Maintenance) Projects this past Saturday, Mav 7th. WHATADOUT I.Q.: What should 1 say when a mother wants to know her son’s IQ? The Jaycees painted the home of Mr. Hayse Locklear in the Prospect community. Other Jaycee members working on the project, but not included in photos, were Bill Hunt and Noah Wixxls. WixxJs was pro ject chairman. Incoming president William Sanderson said that the club would not stop functioning just because the regular semester is over. The club will’work on several projects during the summer so that the club will be ready to offer and exciting year for new members who will be joining this fall. for I'ltle I of the ESEA asked for even more Standardized Testing. Everybody got into the testing program, students were tagged with a number, and that number was to influence all children for life. Just last week the Nonh Carolina legislature passed the Competency Test to be taken by all graduating seniors. What is real about all this testing is (hat it's here to stay. Somehow the only way to find accountability is to test. One senator said that requiring students to pass a test for graduation would force students to study. THE PANIC: When Sputnik became a reality in 1957. the American public became panicy about credibility in our school system. The event lead to a vastly increased testing program (I.Q., Achievement, Aptitude). Rvaluiilion guidelines IQ’s are regarded as numbers that should rarely if ever be reported as such to students or to their parents. The reason is that an IQ is likely to be seen as a fixed characteristic of the person tested. The effect, too often, is that of a final conclusion about the individual rather than a piece of information useful in further thinking and planning. Few things interfere more effectively than reporting of IQ scores to parent.s.

He five children live in LumfieeJ 'Thank you and good morning. It’s a real pleasure to be with you this fine, fine, beautiful morning.” To the faithful listeners of WAGR Radio in Lumberton, these are the familiar opening words of Tom Blanks' daily radio program, "Com munity Comment." Blanks, chairman of the Lumberton Area Subscriber Advisory Council, has hosted "Community Comment” for nearly four years. "The program is not confined to any issue or sub ject," says Blanks, "but is devoted to helping keep the Robeson County community informed on a variety of issues." Blanks sometimes speaks himself on issues such as community development, community resources, and the activities of local agencies. Other times he features guest speakers on his program addressing particular issues; in the past he has featured the executive director of the North Carolina Commission on In dian Affairs, local community leaders, staff members from different agencies, and, recently, Scott Wallace, coordinator of the Sub scriber Advisory Council program, for a series of discussions about the SAC program and health care costs. Blanks enjoys the opportunity to speak to the community on issues of interest and concern but also views his program as a public service with a commitment to keep the com munity informed on important issues.
