Dynamic+Assessment

Form of assessment that presents children with problems just one step beyond their existing competence and then provide help as needed for them to reach independent mastery (Ex. Oral exam - interview). It can provide the teacher with more insight into a student's level of understanding, and it provides students with insight into their learning as well (Brown et al.) Although dynamic assessment may be beneficial to students and educators, it can be very difficult to utilize in the classroom.
