How Dynamic Patterns of Teacher-Child Interaction Can Provide Insight in The Learning Potential of Five Year Olds

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter deals with the meaning of the patterns that emerge during instruction for understanding a child’s learning potential. For a long time the potential to learn was assessed by means of dynamic assessment (DA). This procedure has now been available as a diagnostic procedure for well over thirty years, with ideas related to its development ranging back to the beginning of the twentieth century (Van der Aalsvoort & Lidz, 2007). DA is a generic term for procedures that embed intervention within the ongoing assessment, and that usually include a pretesttraining- posttest format that directly links assessment to intervention.
