A study of educational achievement of problem children.Presentation of data.

A study of educational achievement of problem children.: Presentation of data. For purposes of clearness, the findings are first reported in separate tables giving the distribution of intelligence quotients, educational quotients, and accomplishment ratios; the placement according to life age, mental age, and educational age; and the occurrence of physical defects, personality and behavior difficulties, and bad social conditions. Comparisons of the occurrence of personality and behavior difficulties, with distribution of intelligence quotients, educational quotients, and accomplishment ratios are presented in another set of tables. The comparisons of personality and behavior difficulties with grade placement according to life, mental, and educational ages are also given in separate tables. Physical defects and bad social conditions were also tabulated in comparison with Intelligence quotients, educational quotients, accomplishment ratios and grade placement for life, mental, and educational ages, but these figures are not introduced in detail for reasons explained later. We have prepared tables comparing our data with other studies which could be considered to some extent as controls. Details of the method of statistical treatment will be given in connection with the tables. An attempt to study sex differences was made, but since the numbers are so small this was not satisfactory and the tables by sex have been omitted. While the intelligence quotient is not a measure of educational achievement, it does indicate the capacity for achievement, and it is therefore logical to include comparative tables for intelligence quotient as well as for educational quotient, and accomplishment ratio. Moreover, there have been so many statements to the effect that there is a positive correlation between high intelligence and good behavior that it is also interesting to include the material bearing on this question.

Abstract

For purposes of clearness, the findings are first reported in separate tables giving the distribution of intelligence quotients, educational quotients, and accomplishment ratios; the placement according to life age, mental age, and educational age; and the occurrence of physical defects, personality and behavior difficulties, and bad social conditions. Comparisons of the occurrence of personality and behavior difficulties, with distribution of intelligence quotients, educational quotients, and accomplishment ratios are presented in another set of tables. The comparisons of personality and behavior difficulties with grade placement according to life, mental, and educational ages are also given in separate tables. Physical defects and bad social conditions were also tabulated in comparison with Intelligence quotients, educational quotients, accomplishment ratios and grade placement for life, mental, and educational ages, but these figures are not introduced in detail for reasons explained later. We have prepared tables comparing our data with other studies which could be considered to some extent as controls. Details of the method of statistical treatment will be given in connection with the tables. An attempt to study sex differences was made, but since the numbers are so small this was not satisfactory and the tables by sex have been omitted. While the intelligence quotient is not a measure of educational achievement, it does indicate the capacity for achievement, and it is therefore logical to include comparative tables for intelligence quotient as well as for educational quotient, and accomplishment ratio. Moreover, there have been so many statements to the effect that there is a positive correlation between high intelligence and good behavior that it is also interesting to include the material bearing on this question.
