Dynamic Assessment for Young Children - Theory and Application (Webinar & 2-day Workshop)
Due to the overwhelming response to registration, the two-day workshop (18 & 19 May 2023) has been fully booked, and now we have reached a consensus with the speakers to add a seco nd session. NEW TIME SLOT !!! The second session of 2-day workshops Date: 21 & 22 May 2023 (Sun & Mon) Time: 08:30 - 16:15 (HKT) Venue: CUHK Campus Description Dynamic Assessment (DA) refers to “an assessment of thinking, perception, learning, and problem solving by an active teaching process aimed at modifying cognitive functioning” (Tzuriel, 2001). DA differs from conventional static tests in regard to its goals, processes, instruments, test situation, and interpretation of results. DA is a technique that has made more and more appearance in contemporary psychology literature. It is a technique that differs much from traditional standardized assessment in that it seeks to understand the learner’s abilities by supporting learning development rather than identify where the individual is currently (click to show comparison table). The assessment is a product of Lev Vygotsky’s research in the 1930s. Dynamic assessment is also used in the fields of education and speech pathology to assess children’s learning potential and capabilities. It has been applied in a wide variety of testing contexts and populations, including socially disadvantaged children, persons with mental retardation, deaf children, gifted disadvantaged children, penitentiary inmates, adults and children with learning difficulties, patients with brain damage, university students, preschool children, ethnic minorities, etc. It can also be applied in kindergarten, primary schools, and secondary schools. This event is composed of two parts, including a 3-hour webinar and 2-day workshop. The webinar is titled “Mediated Learning and Cognitive Modifiability: Applications to Dynamic Assessment and Cognitive Intervention”. It introduces the theory of Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience and the validation of these theories in studies of mother-child interactions. The effects of dynamic assessment in cognitive education programs will also be presented. The 2-day workshop is titled “Dynamic Assessment” and is held in face-to-face mode. It introduces the theoretical foundations of the DA approach and seven dynamic assessment tests. The participants would have hands-on practice using the tests in the workshop.
