Intelligence tests

performance assessment, and portfolio assessments all have similarities and differences as well as strengths and weaknesses.

the independent variable for all the experiments is handedness, and the dependent variable is the number of keywords for the reading test, number of activities going on in the picture for the visual test, number of keywords in the audio listening test, and number of movements for the kinesthetic test that the participants will get.

Piaget saw children as little scientists and he stated that an active child requires knowledge through self-evaluation and they use what they have previously learnt to form…
