Transforming IQ into Orthopdie Mentale: An Introduction to A. Binet and V. Va [Paperback]

This volume discusses Alfred Binets works on pedagogy based on his Orthop?die Mentale.?Binet had empirically found that his idea of a test of general intelligence could be replaced by a test on problem areas. These problem areas were then to be specifically addressed and improved within a relatively short time. As a result, students dramatically improved in their IQ test results. Binet died before he could publish the results. Fortunately, the rector of the school, Victor Vaney, published the results of Binets experiments in his school. This volume provides the first English translation of Vaney's publication as well as an introduction to Binet's mostly forgotten late work.
