- Hi Steve....
-
- your point is interesting..... does a test reflect what a culture values?
- Or, is it a reflection of a certain community that benefits by those
- values. I think all you have to do is look at the curriculum materials in the
- first part of this century (US education) and you can see where the benefit
- falls..... so maybe we have moved to the notion of values.....
-
- which I think you would agree are social constructions
-
- So lets try to move beyond the notion of IQ tests to what they
- refer to..... the notion of valued knowing
-
