THE EFFECTS OF INTELLIGENCE TESTING ON SECONDARY PUPILS AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF AN ADAPTED COGNITIVE TRAINING PROGRAMME TO THE CURRICULUM

Abstract

An adaptation of Harvard Intelligence Project has been made in this research under the new name Thinking, Learning and Transfer Program (PAT). There have also been designed new curricular exercises for Secondary students regarding the strategies taught in the Series of Reasoning and Problem Solving. We present the results of the intelligence variable, measured through different tests (Raven, Factor G, PMA-N and PMA-R) and the reasoning and problem solving variables. Other variables such us learning strategies, academic self-concept, curricular transferences and teachers’ beliefs about education were controlled in this research, although the results will be presented in other articles.
