Intelligence Testing and Minority Students: Foundations, Performance Factors, and Assessment Issues

Intelligence Testing and Minority Students: Foundations, Performance Factors, and Assessment Issues (RACIAL ETHNIC MINORITY PSYCHOLOGY) by Richard R. Valencia
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0761912304 | 416 Pages | PDF | 24.83 MB

Intelligence Testing and Minority Students offers the reader a fresh opportunity to re-learn and re-consider the implications of intelligence testing. Richard R. Valencia and Lisa A. Suzuki discuss the strengths and limitations of IQ testing relative to the factors which may contribute to biased results. They review the history of the adaptation and adoption of intelligence testing; evaluate the heredity-environment debate; discuss the specific performance factors which apply to IQ testing of those in minority ethnic groups.

This practical book offers the practitioner a good sense of what can be done to make testing and education serve the needs of all students fairly and validly, whatever their background.
