Abstract
The presentation introduces and employs the concepts of transfer, translation and trading in relation to a case study in Danish educational history: possible connections between the New Education Fellowship and the Danish practice of examinations and school psychological testing from the 1920s till 1960. Besides the theoretical dimension of discussing nomenclature, the presentation offers an investigation of the social and cultural exchange of educational ideas between the Anglo-Saxon world and Scandinavia in general and Denmark in particular. Moreover, the presentation argues for the positive gains of an international frame of interpretation when dealing with national educational history.
