Entry 12 - Carol Gilligan & Children IQ testing

FEB 3 EDPY

1. Carol Gillian -Critique and extension of Kohlburgs's moral reasoning. 

She is Feminist. Says Kohlberg model is individualistic...well western society IS individualistic!!  
On the Justice perspective-- believes Lawrence Kohlberg's model is harsh and dominant. Overly masculine and care is missing.
Womanly way of looking at things.
-Care perspective
-Feminist 
*Combine justice and care. Wants to combing these two. Highest level for Gillian.

2. Discussion: IQ testing and children: BLOG ? - What is you experience or observation of IQ testing and children? How did it impact their learning or life? What do you think about the IQ testing and why?? Fact - IQ does predict academic success! 

I personally do not have any experience with formal IQ testing, although I have taken (as I'm sure many of us have) the online quizzes that supposedly tell us our IQ. I am a bit on the fence with this question because I think it could have some very positive and negative effects on children as they grow up and mature. I feel as though I could speak endlessly on this issue debating against myself, so I will just let you skip all that reading and say that IQ testing should be done (if so wanted) at an age where the individual can decide for themselves. I don't think I would want to take one and find out something I might not like. I am happy the way I am! If I felt like I needed to refine myself it could/would be as simple as picking up a book or an extra class.
