De Amsterdamse schooltoets 1969 in relatie tot enige conclusies van 'Het Verborgen Talent'

Samenvatting

Focus is on an investigation conducted in 1969 to determine the value of the Amsterdam school test regarding the choice of direction in a higher education level. Briefly examined are the origin, working, & significance of this test. The results are then compared with F. Van Heek's conclusions in THE HIDDEN TALENT (Boom & Zn, 1968). 2 of Van Heek's conclusions must be rejected: the social position of students was found to have a definite influence on their educational career; teachers were found not to be as unprejudiced as Van Heek had claimed. Van Heek's conclusion as to the uncertainty of choice was found to be valuable. 3 Tables. I. Verluyten.
