| Chapters on: Foundations of Dynamic Assessment — introduces the general theory of human development, which originates in the writings of the Russian psychologist, L.S. Vygotsky. The Zone of Proximal Development — addresses this specific theoretical concept that is most immediately connected to DA Dynamic Assessment — presents the different approaches to DA that researchers and educators have developed since the concept was first introduced to North American audiences by Vygotsky’s colleague, A. R. Luria in 1961 Dynamic Assessment and Second Language Learning — focuses on DA as it pertains specifically to foreign and second language education. |

| "Finally, there is a DVD available for dissemination to professionals who wish to become familiar with the basic principles of dynamic assessment! The CALPER center at Pennsylvania State University has produced a training DVD that not only provides a narrative overview of the history and practice of dynamic assessment, but uniquely provides video examples of mediated interactions, along with an analysis of the components of the mediation. The DVD has been developed in relation to the training of individuals within the field of applied linguistics; however, its potential for application is much broader. The DVD is appropriate for anyone training in a field that involves clinical diagnosis, whether speech/language, psychology, or education, that is, any professional that involves interactive communication. However, it will certainly be of direct value for language educators. Although discussions of the interactive communications focus on application of the principles of both Mediated Learning Experience as described by Feuerstein and theories of development of Vygotsky, the coverage of dynamic assessment is broader and more comprehensive than any one specific model. I couldn’t be more pleased to have this DVD among my resources." Carol S. Lidz, Psy.D. Philadelphia, PA Retired psychologist/school psychologist | |
