Psychometric and Aptitude tests:

In grade 9 there’s usually quite a buzz around the phrase ‘aptitude tests’.

What is aptitude?

Aptitude is a person’s natural ability to do something so therefore, an aptitude test is a test designed to determine a person’s ability in a particular skill or field of knowledge. Aptitude tests usually consist of a variety of questions covering a range of categories in order to try and determine your character, skill and strengths.

At EduMindz we offer aptitude testing in grade 9 to assist learners with career and subject choices.

At EduMindz we cater for a diversity of students and therefore strive to create an inclusive environment.

WHAT IS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION?

Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their neighbourhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn, contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school.

Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and activities so that all students learn and participate together.

Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students by effectively meeting their diverse learning needs in a way that is responsive, accepting, respectful and supportive. Students participate in the education program in a common learning environment with support to diminish and remove barriers and obstacles that may lead to exclusion.

Inclusive education is carried out in a common learning environment; that is, an educational setting where students from different backgrounds and with different abilities learn together in an inclusive environment. Common learning environments are used for the majority of the students’ regular instruction hours and may include classrooms, libraries, gym, performance theatres, music rooms, playgrounds and the local community. A common learning environment is not a place where students with intellectual disabilities or other special needs learn in isolation from their peers.

Effective common learning environments:

Enable each student to fully participate in the learning environment that is designed for all students and is shared with peers in the chosen educational setting;
Provide a positive climate, promote a sense of belonging and ensure student progress toward appropriate personal, social, emotional and academic goals;
Are responsive to individual learning needs by providing sufficient levels of support and applying student-centred teaching practices and principles.
Common learning environment: an inclusive environment where instruction is designed to be delivered to students of mixed ability and with their peer group in the same environment, while being responsive to their individual needs as a learner, and used for the majority of the students’ regular instruction hours.

Confidence is a key factor to success in maths and confidence comes through mastery. In maths, learners must master each skill in order to progress proficiently to the next, more advanced skill. When this incremental learning is not achieved, gaps in mathematical knowledge can occur which may compromise the learner’s mathematical development for life.
