ABSTRACT

This chapter describes across four sections with topics covered including: intelligence testing, classroom observations, interpretation of material, varying effects of the environment and interviewing techniques. It provides a detailed study of mental development and education in adolescent girls in the 1930’s as well as considering how important it can be to have a psychologist in the classroom. A large number of the girls had no suggestions to offer for changes in school life, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves under some conditions. The chapter provides that some questionnaire used in schools was given to all the girls from Lower III or Upper III upwards. The whole school answered it at the same time, in their form rooms with the form mistress in charge.
