The Surveying of the Level of Individualization in the Classroom

The construction, validation, scoring techniques, uses, and constraints of the "I" Scale are presented. The "I" Scale was originally developed to measure the effect of a three district Title III project which sought to raise the level of individualization within the classroom. The paper traces the theoretical stance of individualization as operationalized in the scale and reports the relationship between pupil performance and the level of individualization. This scale makes a noteworthy contribution toward both the operationalizing of individualization and the surveying of the level of individualization within a school district at any given time.
