| Sumario: | The article presents the author's view point about the changing concept of intelligence and its effect on special class organization. The concept of intelligence as a unitary factor has long been questioned and remains at present largely discredited. The concept of intelligence comprising many factors is more generally accepted. It becomes special and unique because these factors have instructional significance. The vast curriculum changes resulting from the acceptance of these factors open the way for all children with learning problems to receive help from teachers especially steeped in the philosophy and humanism of special class education. The special class educator who takes into consideration these factors will offer a curriculum providing for the remediation of the deficits that lower the obtained intelligence quotient and prevent learning. The typical curriculum of the special class teacher will offer help in memory training. This should include visual memory, auditory memory, visual-sequential memory. |
