Dynamic Assessment/Intervention Its Gross Value

Abstract

In Mind in Society [1], proposes a different way of performing the assessment and measurement of abilities, which move from a static view of children’s achievements to a dynamic vision that can reveal more about the as the child learns. The proposed concept, Proximal Development Zone (ZPD) [2], is the organizing principle of this type of evaluation. In a Vygotsian ideology, the focus of analysis is on the measurement or assessment of learning and development dynamics, which include either establishing the current level of performance or achievement of the subject, or their potential to reach higher levels of development.
