DESIGN AND INVESTIGATION OF AN EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING POTENTIAL

The investigation work that we put forward to you is an attempt to apply the Learning Potential modelto language evaluation in mentally deficient scholarised subjects.In order to do this, an alternative system to the traditional psychometric model has been designed.Through it we obtain information about the actual development and potential of the subjects, as wellas about their strong points and improvable areas, which makes it possible to implement cognitiveimprovement programs in the educational scope.The experimental studies carried out indicate that the instrument is suitable for the task it has beendesigned for, and its application has demonstrated it is a both useful and precise instrument forlanguage evaluation in the mental deficiency range.
