Improving Learning through Dynamic Assessment: A Practical Classroom Resource
Autor Fraser Lauchlan, Donna Carriganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mar 2013
Ne-a atras atenția abordarea pragmatică a lucrării Improving Learning through Dynamic Assessment, care transformă teoria evaluării dinamice într-un instrument de lucru direct aplicabil la clasă. Spre deosebire de metodele tradiționale statice, acest manual le permite psihologilor educaționali și logopezilor să măsoare nu doar cunoștințele acumulate de un copil de peste 4 ani, ci și capacitatea acestuia de a răspunde la intervenție.
Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în structura sa riguros organizată în cinci secțiuni, care ghidează cititorul de la fundamentul teoretic la un proces de evaluare etapizat. În secțiunile dedicate intervenției și materialelor, autorii Fraser Lauchlan și Donna Carrigan includ resurse gata de utilizat, precum activități fotocopiabile și fișe de lucru pentru părinți, facilitând o colaborare reală între toți adulții implicați în educația copilului. Această focalizare pe instrumente concrete este comparabilă cu The Dynamic Assessment of Language Learning de Natalie Hasson în ceea ce privește rigurozitatea metodologică, dar este actualizată pentru a acoperi un spectru mai larg de provocări de învățare, dincolo de deficiențele de limbaj.
În contextul operei lui Fraser Lauchlan, această carte reprezintă o rafinare a conceptelor discutate în Frameworks for Practice in Educational Psychology, Second Edition. Dacă lucrarea anterioară oferea o privire de ansamblu asupra cadrelor de lucru, titlul de față se concentrează pe aplicarea specifică a modelului contemporan de evaluare dinamică. Este o resursă esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă barierele cognitive și afective care stau în calea progresului unui elev, oferind o perspectivă nuanțată asupra potențialului de învățare.

De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte psihologilor școlari, logopezilor și coordonatorilor SEN care caută o alternativă la testarea standardizată. Cititorul câștigă un set complet de instrumente practice — de la liste de verificare la studii de caz — care permit diagnosticarea corectă a modului în care învață un copil. Este un ghid esențial pentru a trece de la simpla constatare a dificultăților la o intervenție educațională personalizată și eficientă.
Descriere
Contrasting with traditional 'static' assessment methods, this resource enables educational psychologists and related professionals to involve the child actively in the process of assessment - allowing them to measure not just what the child has learnt, but also how the child learns, how responsive they are to attempts to intevene, and what is holding them back from learning. It outlines the relevant theory and offers a staged assessment process to follow, with strategies for assessing cognitive and affective capacity. The resource contains all you need to carry out dynamic assessment, featuring photocopiable activities, checklists, handouts for teachers/parents to use with children and training materials which explain the approach in terms understandable to all participating adults.
The first practical resource on how to carry out this popular and innovative form of assessment, Improving Learning through Dynamic Assessment is an important resource for educational psychologists, speech and language therapists, special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs), specialist support teachers and other professionals working with children with learning challenges.
Recenzii
This will be an excellent resource for educational psychologists and fellow professionals for carrying out the sometimes complex ideas underpinning the dynamic assessment approach. Highly recommended.
Lauchlan and Carrigan have managed to do something that many attempt, and fail. They have produced a very usable book which bridges the gap between theory and practice in applied psychology. For too long dynamic assessment remained in the hands of academics and it always sounded like a good idea but in practice there was little guidance for practitioners to make the move from the more traditional forms of cognitive assessment to a dynamic approach. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and it should be in the hands of all practising educational (school) psychologists.
The book briefly summarises dynamic assessment and the basic principles... The emphasis of the book seems to be to provide lots of practical ideas and resources...it more accurately suits upper primary children... could be used with some secondary aged students with significant language or literacy difficulties... This book is as it describes, a very practical resource packed full of useful ideas and readymade resources that can be photocopied. These can be used with a variety of different presenting difficulties.
The book provides guidelines for all stages and divides DA into two broad themes-cognitive and effective-with checklists and principles for both. There are profile sheets, factors sheets, and tailored strategies that are matched to the learning profile checklists and break down learning principles by theme. Not only does each stage have accompanying photocopy-ready handouts, there are also professional development materials to provide to teachers. Involving teachers, parents, and the students themselves in the stages of DA is very important and this is made easy using the structures and tools supplied.
In all, this is a valuable, well-structured book. It is full of useable strategies and aids for planning and implementing interventions guided by dynamic assessments.
The intention behind this book is to provide an accessible and efficient version of dynamic assessment, which can be used by educational psychologists and others in schools to provide ideas for focused intervention... I thoroughly approve of the way this approach has been designed to be very accessible to classroom teachers and to provide a framework for collaboration in which insights from dynamic assessment can be integrated into a simple intervention plan, which is also accessible to the child. The handbook has some notable strengths, I found the checklists of learning and affective principles helpful in structuring observations and the child-friendly versions of the learning principles have been cleverly designed... I found this to be a theoretically-sound and practical handbook. It offers a useful entry point for those wanting to begin doing some dynamic assessment and a helpful additional resource for those with additional experience of the field.
This is a succinctly written, easily accessible and practical "how to"guide for dynamic assessment... Hard to find anything not to like about this resource as it does what it says on the tin... Recommended for: essential reading for educational psychologists and other professionals working with children and young people who are interested in the dynamic assessment approach.
