Retarded Children: A Study of Educational Strategies.
Pratt, Eugene C.
To evaluate the impact of a specific program on the learning of educable mentally handicapped (EMH) children, to assess the inter and intra-cognitive differences of the EMH, and to measure the relationship of children's learning to home circumstances, students from four Iowa Primary EMH classrooms were tested over a period of one academic year. The study was felt to reveal the inter and intra-child cognitive differences. However, it was felt that anticipated but localized cognitive gains are unlikely to be produced with a population of EMH children through experimental manipulation of a single curriculum variable during one academic year. Results were also felt to suggest that conditions in the home have little to do with the child's learning in the classroom. (CD)
