Identifying High Academic Potential in Canadian Aboriginal Primary School Children
Of the 19 Canadian Aboriginal grade 3 and 4 children taken through the Coolabah Dynamic Assessment (test–intervention–retest) process in this pilot study, eight made pronounced gains from pre-test to posttest. Among this group of “invisible underachievers,” three showed exceptional potential by achieving post-test raw scores that suggest high academic potential. In the context of this study, the term “invisible underachiever” refers to individual…
Using Coolabah Dynamic Assessment to Identify Canadian Aboriginal Children with High Academic Potential
In this pilot study, 19 Canadian Aboriginal students in grades 3 or 4 were taken through the Coolabah Dynamic Assessment process, a form of dynamic (test-intervention-retest) assessment. While many of the children made little or no gain from pretest to posttest, several others improved markedly as a result of the intervention. Indeed, some showed substantial growth, reaching levels that placed them in the “invisible underachiever” category. Since…
Recapturing at-Risk, Talented High-School Dropouts
Lost Prizes, a tri-district project designed to “reckim”at-risk, talented high-school dropouts, ran from September, 1993, through June, 1996. Their talents notwithstanding, the young people in question were basically “doing nothing and going nowhere.” Through career exploration, individualgrowthplans, mentoring experiences with business partners, and Creative Problem Solving training, the flexible, off-site program attempted to help these at-risk…
Early Entrance to Kindergarten
The Lord Selkirk School Division #11 (Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada) had a kindergarten early admission policy in place for well over two decades. Thus, educators there had an opportunity to monitor and rate the progress of early entrants for 24 years. In each four-year block for students admitted from 1970 through 1990, performance improved over time. Specifically, an analysis of the longitudinal data indicates that early entrants received significa…
A Twenty-Four Year Longitudinal Look at Early Entrance to Kindergarten
For twenty-four years, the Lord Selkirk School Divison (Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada) has had a policy whereby some students are accepted for early entrance into kindergarten. A longitudinal study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of these early entrance students over the years. Educators’ratings indicated that 41% fared exceptionally well in school, 39% performed solidly, and 20% did poorly
Differential Sensitivity to Contradictory Communication as a Function of Age and Culture
Recordings were made of Canadian and Mexican actresses reciting contradictory messages in their respective languages (i.e., English and Spanish). The speech samples were contradictory in that the tone of voice was incongruent with the words spoken. When these contradictory communications were played to Canadian and Mexican children aged 7, 9, and 11, it was found that there was a clear age effect. That is, the younger children in both cultures in…
Perception of the Emotional Content of Speech
White and Indian adult males, speaking whatever words came to mind in their native languages (English and Cree, respectively), attempted to express vocally the emotions of happiness, sadness, love, and anger. After these simulations of emotional state were recorded, the speech samples were rendered unintelligible by means of an electronic filter (which removed verbal meaning while leaving intact the tonal aspects of speech). The filtered vocal ex…
