Abstract

This article examines current psychometric and testing practices that appear to do a limited job of assessing the intelligence of American Indian individuals. For several reasons, contemporary approaches are found to be inadequate. Unfortunately, these practices are then employed in making educational decisions and placing these same children into Special Education programs. Alternative methods of testing, including the Gf-Gc Cross-Battery Approach, are discussed and evaluated in terms of usefulness in the evaluation of American Indian children and adolescents. The cross-battery method of testing was found to provide more in-depth procedures for bypassing both language and cultural differences among American Indian individuals.
跨单元方法在美国印第安儿童评估中的应用:一个可行的选择。
这篇文章检查了目前的心理测量和测试实践,似乎做了有限的工作,评估美国印第安人的智力。由于几个原因,人们发现当代的方法是不够的。不幸的是,这些做法随后被用于制定教育决策,并将这些孩子安排到特殊教育项目中。其他测试方法,包括Gf-Gc交叉电池方法,在评估美国印第安儿童和青少年的有用性方面进行了讨论和评估。人们发现,跨电池测试方法提供了更深入的程序,可以绕过美洲印第安人之间的语言和文化差异。
