Discuss one advantage and one disadvantage of using socio-metric measures for evaluating students' social skills
What will be an ideal response?

The advantage is that they generally exhibit reliability and validity in predicting the student who is at risk for behavior problems. A disadvantage or limitation of the socio-metric procedures is that they often do not provide teachers with information concerning specific behaviors that must be taught or ameliorated.
