1. What is dynamic
assessment? (Level 1, Remember)
2. Do you think that dynamic assessment is a more valuable
way of measuring student learning than traditional assessment methods? (Level
5, Evaluate)
3. Create a dynamic assessment for a topic you plan to
teach. (Level 6, Create)
Dynamic assessment is a way to measure a child's learning potential rather than a student's static level of achievement. I believe that it is more valuable to measure student learning through dynamic assessment because this provides a more positive twist to assessment. By looking at a child's learning potential, we are showing the child what they can do right versus what they may have done wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be teaching vocabulary words, I would tell the students what we were going to learn, why this is important in their week/future, and then show them a word and have the students define it for me. This would be a short dynamic assessment because I would be telling the student what they will be capable of doing at the end of the lesson, and then I show them they are capable.
1. Dynamic assessment is the systematic examination of how readily and in what ways a student can acquire new knowledge or skills, usually with adult assistance or some other form of scaffolding.
ReplyDelete2. I do not think dynamic assessment is more valuable necessarily, but I feel that incorporating it with other methods makes the overall process more valuable.
3. I plan to use scaffolding to assess group work in my science class. As I learn my class more in depth, it will help me to become a better teacher for my students.
Great questions!
