Summary
Details

""Measurement in Higher Education"" is a foundational study in the field of educational psychology and assessment, focusing on the rigorous application of scientific measurement to university settings. This work explores the pivotal shift toward objective testing and the implementation of intelligence examinations to improve student placement and overall academic success.

The text delves into the methodology behind standardized testing, evaluating its reliability and validity in predicting student performance. It addresses the inherent limitations of traditional examination methods and proposes more precise instruments for measuring intellectual capacity and achievement. This volume remains a significant historical document for those interested in the evolution of modern psychometrics and the institutionalization of testing in American colleges and universities.

By examining the critical relationship between measurement and pedagogical adjustment, the work offers deep insights into the early 20th-century movement to professionalize educational administration and enhance the efficiency of the collegiate experience. It is an essential resource for historians of education and practitioners of educational evaluation.
