Following the success of “Dynamic Assessment for Young Children – Theory and Application” Seminar and Workshop 2014 presented by Professor David Tzuriel, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong is glad to have invited Professor Tzuriel again to provide a 1-day seminar and 2-day workshop this summer 2018. The 1-day seminar and 2-day workshop target at speech therapists, psychologists, pediatricians, social workers, nurses, teachers, special education practitioners and parents. Upon completion of the 3-day seminar and workshop, participants will be able to equip with knowledge and theoretical foundation in applying DA to young children (4 – 7 years old) in the fields of education and speech pathology to assess children’s learning potential and capabilities.
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 at. 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 kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools.
