Essay on Foundation of special education

        The author “Curt Dudley Marling and Alex Gurn” describes “troubling the foundations of special education: Examining the myth of the normal curve” and the major concern of the paper was the development of consciousness and disability issues. In their work, the normal curve represented the achievement of students. The achievement of students is measured by the constellation of scores obtained based on intelligence tests. Instead of common-sense appeal, the substantial body of evidence indicates the output of curves and normal curve shows that the model illustrates the poor model for educational theories. The critics of the normal curve show variation in the general population and represent specified groups of individuals. The normal curve is applied for the homogeneous distribution of scores and measurement errors were also considered to determine variation in variables and average score. The statistics for normal distribution are not on the empirical grounds and special fitness curve. The tendency of achievement is related to the standardize educational test and techniques used in the measurement of the normal distribution. The main output of representation shows a fundamental process for the separate traits and abilities that can be identified by different systems of education. On the basis of the present research, it can be concluded that the characteristics of achievement are different for individual students.
