An Evaluation of Teacher Judgment of Pupils' Intelligence and Achievement From the Viewpoint of the Administrator
Abstract
The question of the accuracy of teachers' ratings has long been one of discussion, Do teachers gauge the abilities of their pupils accurately? Are their errors negligible, or, are they of sufficient weight to cause incorrect placements or gradings? Is the administrator of a school justified in relying on these estimates for promotion and non-promotion? Do disciplinary problems or other extraneous matters warp the teachers’ judgments so that unknowingly an administrator is working an injustice to some children when complete reliance is placed on the estimates of teachers for adjustment purposes?
