Why did you choose this person? how
can You use his/her work as a
teacher?
I Didn’t choose Cyril Burt because his
perfect of what he has done but I choose
him because I inspired one of his
contribution is that a guidance centers for
children so that a student are comfortable
in his/her room temperature and As a
future teacher we wanted that our student
have a place of learning without any
disturbance And I can use his work by
determining the student diversity or the
learner strength by using his human
intelligence study. Although other people
are questioning of Burt work after he died
many of psychologies believe in his work
about intelligence data of every children.
