Detailed Explanation
Understanding Thurstone's Group Factor Theory
Louis Thurstone proposed in his Group Factor Theory that intelligence does not rely on a single general factor, but rather consists of a group of 'Primary Mental Abilities' (PMAs), such as verbal comprehension, word fluency, numerical ability, spatial relations, memory, reasoning, and perceptual speed.
- Cognitive Profile: Every student possesses a unique intellectual and cognitive profile composed of these independent abilities.
- Classroom Implication: Teachers must adopt Differentiated Instruction to cater to these varied strengths, enabling learners to develop their potentials fully.
Therefore, statement b accurately reflects the scientific and practical application of this theory in educational settings.
