Grouping Students for Instruction
1. Some educational theorists believe that students should be grouped together with similar students for instruction. Other educational theorists believe that instructional groups should be made deliberately diverse. The criteria, employed for differentiating students, include chronological age, mental age, IQ, skin colour, sex, social class, geographical location, and parental income.
2. A mental age is a measure of someone’s ability to think, obtained by comparing someone’s ability with the average ability of children at various ages, for example, a 25-year-old man with a mental age of seven. An IQ is someone’s level of intelligence, measured by a special test, with 100 being the average result, for example, an IQ of 130.
An individual’s intelligence quotient is his mental age, as shown by intelligence tests, multiplied by 100 and divided by his chronological age. Such criteria as mental age and IQ often have the effect of separating rich from poor or elites from cultural minorities because of the cultural content of the tests used.
3. Arguments in favour of homogeneous grouping tend to emphasize speed and efficiency in instruction and learning. Heterogeneous grouping is characterized by lack of racial discrimination, sex discrimination, and discrimination against students with low IQ or with low income. Arguments for heterogeneous grouping tend to emphasize tolerance towards each other and the importance of mutual understanding.

The Purpose of Education
1. Some educational theorists believe that education should serve the needs of the individual. The second opinion on the purpose of education is that education should serve the needs of the society. In industrialized nations it is common for both of these goals to be held but for different classes of the population.
2. For the elite, the needs of the individual tend to prevail, and thus upper-class schooling often tolerates diversity and encourages idiosyncrasy. For the masses, the needs of society tend to dominate, and schooling usually serves to prepare children to become obedient, well-drilled, uncomplaining workers in industry and agriculture.
3. In France and Germany, the primary purpose of education is intellectual development. In England, the primary purpose of education is character building. In Roman Catholic and Communist countries, moral or religious training is usually the primary purpose of education. Hence, every subject is imbued with religious or ideological content, and there is a constant attempt to draw moral lessons from educational material. In the United States, where large-scale immigration once brought the fear of social disintegration, preparation for citizenship and development of national consciousness have tended to be emphasized. Even today, some rituals, such as displaying American flags here there and everywhere and pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America at the beginning of the school day, distinguish American schools from those in most other countries.

Child Psychology
1. Generally speaking, psychology is the study of the mind and how it works. The main issues studied by psychologists include learning, cognition, intelligence, motivation, emotion, personality, and the extent to which individual differences are shaped by genetics or environment. The methods used in psychological research include observation, interviews, psychological testing, laboratory experimentation, and statistical analysis.
2. One of the fields of psychology closely connected with education is child psychology. Child psychology is the study of psychological processes of children, specifically, how these processes differ from those of adults, how they develop from birth to the end of adolescence, and how and why they differ from one child to the next.
3. The data of child psychology are gathered from a variety of sources. Observations by relatives, teachers, and other adults, as well as the psychologist’s direct observation of and interviews with a child, provide a significant amount of material. In some cases a one-way window or mirror is used so that children are free to interact with their environment or others without awareness that they are being watched. Personality tests and intelligence tests have also proved useful in understanding child development. The principle topics of child psychology include language acquisition and development, personality development, and social, emotional, and intellectual growth.
