Assessing the intellectual ability of Indian and Metis pupils at Ft. Simpson, N.W.T. : a report / by R.S. MacArthur of the University of Alberta on a study conducted at the request of the Education Division,... : R44-64/1962E-PDF

"Canadian philosophies of education usually expect instruction in schools, especially up to legal school-leaving age, to be so adapted as to adequately capitalize on the intellectual potential of individual pupils. Such adaptive teaching requires an economical but valid assessment of that potential. For pupils from middle-class urban cultures reasonably valid instruments such as the highly verbal Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales or the conventional group intelligence tests derived there from are available for this purpose. But how can a teacher gain a valid picture of the general intellectual capability of an immigrant, a slum child, an Indian or Metis, to assist in diagnosing his difficulties in reading or number, and in applying teaching techniques appropriately adapted to that capability? The study herein reported is one in a series concerned with the assessment of general intellectual ability with minimum cultural bias"--p. [1].
