Dynamic Assessment and Informed Intervention for Children with Language Impairment
… place great weight on standardised, static assessment, the procedures may not be fully representative, and reveal little about the child’s learning potential or the direction that intervention should take. Vygotsky’s theories, particularly his notion of the Zone of Proximal Development, …

Beyond static representations: development of a multi-channel, dynamic assessment of emotion perception
… expressions in terms of developing standardized assessments of emotion perception skills. Recently, several researchers have called for the field to move beyond the emotion stimuli based on posed expressions of high signal clarity (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002; Ambadar, Schooler, & Cohn, 2005). This …

Experimental and Simulation Based Dynamic Assessment of Flexion and Extension Movements of Torso
… that cause LBDs. Occupational tasks involving dynamic trunk movements, muscle fatigue, and spinal instability are identified as major risk factors for developing low back pain. Dynamic stability and muscle forces during trunk flexion-extension movements are studied in this dissertation. Torso …

Dynamic Assessment of Nk Cell Interactions With Pediatric Tumor Cells to Predict Response to Immunotherapy
<p>Due to Natural Killer (NK) cells’ capacity to target tumor cells without prior sensitization, adoptive NK cell therapy represents a promising immunotherapy approach for pediatric cancer patients. Our laboratory has developed an NK cell expansion protocol that generates large quantities of NK …

Exploring the Dynamic Assessment Paradigm and its usefulness at Assessing Learning Potential of Schizophrenia Patients
This thesis examines the Dynamic Assessment (DA) paradigm (which involves pre-test, intervention, and post-test phases) as a tool in the assessment of Learning Potential ? a construct central to the DA paradigm that has been shown to provide indication of schizophrenia patients' rehabilitation …

Computerized Dynamic Assessment of Vocabulary Knowledge (CDA-V): Vocabulary Depth Assessment and Zone of Proximal Development
This study presents the Computerized Dynamic Assessment of Vocabulary (CDA-V). The CDA-V is an existing depth of vocabulary assessment approached with Dynamic Assessment. The Word Associates Test (Read, 1993) and Graduated Prompts (Gutiérrez-Clellen & Peña, 2001), respectively. As a result of this …

Lowering Language Learner Anxiety: The Impact of Collaborative-Dynamic Assessment in the Intermediate University Spanish Classroom
… language (L2) classroom called Collaborative-Dynamic Assessment (C-DA). C-DA is a melding of Collaborative Learning (CL), Dynamic Assessment (DA), and Group Evaluation (GE) in all aspects of L2 instruction and assessment. A study was conducted with 64 university students in an intermediate …

A dynamic assessment of adaptive capacity to climate change: A case study of water management in Makondo, Uganda
… capacity. The approach – which I refer to as a ‗dynamic assessment of adaptive capacity‘ – can reveal data about people and their places that might not otherwise emerge; data that may be of critical importance to understanding adaptive capacities. The approach helps uncover complex realities in …

Modeling second language learners' interlanguage and its variability: a computer-based dynamic assessment approach to distinguishing between errors and mistakes
… interlanguage competence. This thesis suggests a dynamic assessment model grounded in sociocultural theory to distinguish between errors and mistakes in texts written by learners of French, to then investigate the extent to which interlanguage competence varies across time, text types, and …

The Effect of Dynamic Assessment on Adult Learners of Arabic: A Mixed-Method Study at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center
<p>Dynamic assessment (DA) is based on Vygotsky's (1978) sociocultural theory and his Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). ZPD is the range of abilities bordered by the learner's assisted and independent performances. Previous studies showed promising results for DA in tutoring settings. However, …

Tailoring Computerised Mediations to Chinese EFL Learners’ ZPD through a Hybrid Dynamic Assessment Model for L2 Inferential Reading: A Mixed-Methods Study
… the longstanding dualism between instruction and assessment remains problematic (Poehner & Lantolf, 2010). Standardised testing only measures learners’ fully-matured abilities, ignoring their learning potential which might still be maturing during the assessment process. To address the above …

Maximising the potential of learning through dynamic assessment: A case study of the use of DA to simultaneously evaluate and promote higher order thinking in L2 reading
The present research explored the use of dynamic assessment (DA) to simultaneously evaluate and promote higher order thinking in L2 reading. Based on the notion of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and the principles of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), a learning-oriented DA model was …

Assessing Word Learning: The Use of Dynamic Measures
The dynamic assessment of word learning was less influenced by environmental factors than the static vocabulary measures; however, the data also revealed a more complicated outcome. Differences emerged between the participants in the high-risk, low-risk and language disability groups, not just on …

Microfluidic Assessment of Stem Cell-Derived Pancreatic Beta Cells
… paving the way for more sophisticated methods of dynamic assessment. Herein, we fabricated a pre-designed microfluidic device from photolithography, containing microwells capable of immobilizing human β islet or stem cell-derived β cells for perifusional analysis with low (2mM) and high (20mM) …

Predicting hand grasping orientation for prosthetic hand control using multimodal sensor data (EEG, EMG, and IMU) with machine learning approach
… a singular, cohesive ML framework allows for the dynamic assessment of various physical and neurological cues. This methodological synergy enhances the prosthetic’s adaptability to each user’s unique movement patterns and neural commands. Applying deep learning techniques, particularly through a …
