- Description
- Guy T. Buswell and Lenore John published this chart in about 1925 through the Public School Publishing Company of Bloomington, Illinois. The entire package included directions, a pupil's work sheet, a teacher's diagnostic chart, and a pupil's work sheet diagnostic chart. This is the pupil's work sheet. It lists problems in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
- For further information about the test and its authors, see 1990.0034.168.
- At the time of the publication, Buswell was in the Department of Education at the University of Chicago and John was at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Buswell and John hoped that their chart would be used to determine the areas of arithmetic in which a student required further work. It served as a “diagnosis” of problems rather than a “prognosis” of future achievement. In later years, Buswell and John collaborated on a series of arithmetic textbooks.
- This example of the test is from the personal collection of U. S. government psychologist and university teacher in education Samuel Kavruck.
