ABSTRACT Dynamic assessment (DA) is an interactive assessment that encompasses planned mediational teaching and assessment of the effects of that teaching on subsequent performance. DA has been motivated by the inadequacy of conventional static tests to provide accurate information about the individual’s learning ability, deficient functions, change processes, and mediational strategies. This paper explores the nature and potential of DA when used in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) by educational psychologists (EPs). Two EPs were interviewed using semi-structured interview schedules and observed delivering DA. Interviews were analysed using TA and a content analysis was used to analyse the videoed observations. The DA approach was useful in assessing “learning how to learn” skills. Findings highlight promising evidence regarding the utility of EPs’ play-based DA approach in the EYFS to elicit positive information about children’s skills, learning potential and intervention strategies.

教育心理学家在早期基础阶段使用动态评估

摘要 动态评估 (DA) 是一种交互式评估，包括有计划的调解教学和评估该教学对后续表现的影响。DA 的动机是传统静态测试不足以提供有关个人学习能力、功能缺陷、变化过程和调解策略的准确信息。本文探讨了教育心理学家 (EP) 在早期基础阶段 (EYFS) 中使用 DA 的性质和潜力。使用半结构化的采访时间表采访了两名 EP，并观察了他们提供的 DA。使用 TA 分析访谈，并使用内容分析来分析视频观察。DA 方法在评估“学习如何学习”技能方面很有用。
