This study deals with the children’s response in seriation test. One hundred and flinty two kindergarten children, 96 drawn from lower social class and another 96 selected from middle-upper class, all matched in sex and age, are used as subjects. The material for this study is The Learning Readiness System Seriation Test, developed by Professor Ralph Scott, Northern Iowa University.
The results showed that the mean seriation score for middle-upper class subjects is higher than that score for middle-upper class subjects. Analysis of variance yielded statistically significant differences between two social classes, among four age groups, and insignificant difference between two sexes.
The seriation score of each child may be used to determine the general grouping and the guidelines for experiences which will facilitate the overall learning readiness growth of preschool children. Educational implications are disscussed in term of the possible importance of integrating perceptual and language activities into compensatory programs for disadvantaged children.
