Excerpt from Elementary School Standards: Instruction Course of Study; Supervision; Applied to New York City The book does not attempt to illustrate accurate measure ment of educational results. It is scientific only in so far as it brings to bear organized knowledge and insight on an educational problem. Scientific measurement in educa tion is, indeed, as yet too little developed to be applied to more than a very limited portion of the work of the elementary schools. Except for arithmetic and penman ship, standard scores or standard achievements are not available for measuring the quality of the results actually attained by the schools; and even for penmanship and arithmetic, the standard measures for each grade are not yet firmly established. Moreover, purposes must be formu lated and incorporated into practise before any results to be measured can be expected. Scientific measurement of results will therefore always presuppose clear conception of the purposes to be realized; and the formulation of these purposes will always continue to be essential to efficient practise. The extent to which these purposes are realized falls within the province of exact measurement; but, as has been said, without these purposes there is nothing to meas ure, and the methods of exact measurement are still in process of evolution. It is worth noting, however, that the conclusions in relation to ability in reasoning and computa tion in arithmetic arrived at by Professor mcmurry have been confirmed by exact measurement, so far as it was possible to apply exact measurement, by Mr. Stuart A. Courtis, who is expected to contribute a later volume to this series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
