Malihe YarAhmadi; Hossein Kargar Behbahani – Language Testing in Asia, 2025
Traditional approaches to language assessment have been criticized for their inadequacy in taking account of language learners' potential for development. To obviate this pitfall in traditional assessment, language teachers and researchers have been paying increasing attention to dynamic assessment (DA), which is rooted in Vygotsky's (1978)…

Guskey, Thomas R. – Educational Leadership, 2018
Exactly what is a pre-assessment, and how are they best used? In this article, Thomas R. Guskey explores the theoretical underpinnings of pre-assessments and provides an overview of the research. He also details the three forms that pre-assessments take: prerequisite, present, and preview.

Hotaman, Davut – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2020
This study aims to examine the effect of "Formative Assessment (FA)" practices in "Assessment and Evaluation in Education" class on the academic achievement levels of prospective teachers. It uses a mixed research design. Quantitative data were collected by using double pretest-posttest design, which is one of the complete…

Brydges, Ryan; Fiume, Andrea; Grierson, Lawrence – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2022
Background: Invention and mastery learning approaches differ in their foundational educational paradigms, proposed mechanisms of learning, and potential impacts on learning outcomes. They also differ in their resource requirements. We explored the relative effects of 'invent and problem-solve, followed by instruction' (PS-I) learning compared to…

Scotland, James – Arab World English Journal, 2022
Many language teachers employ collaborative learning within their classrooms. However, expectations surrounding the efficacy of working collaboratively need to be empirically verified. This study employed dynamic assessment to investigate whether learners who are situated within an undergraduate Qatari EFL context learn second language grammatical…

Estaji, Masoomeh; Ameri, Amirhamid Forough – Cogent Education, 2020
Dynamic Assessment (DA) is an implicit kind of assessment that most teachers and learners engage in during class time. Although there exists a body of research on the promising effects of DA, the studies have not compared the results across proficiency levels. This study examined the effect of interventionist approach to DA on Iranian English as a…

Daniels, Lia M.; Goegan, Lauren D.; Radil, Amanda I.; Dueck, Bryce S. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Previous research has shown that pre-service teachers have low responsibility for student motivation and feel underprepared to deal with motivational issues. As an extension, researchers have designed interventions to shift teachers' beliefs about motivation or equip them with approaches to instruction, but never both. Aims: Following…

Chase, Manisha Kaur – Research & Practice in Assessment, 2020
Traditional classroom assessment practice often leaves students out of the conversation, exacerbating the unequal power distribution in the classroom. Viewing classrooms as autonomy-inhibiting is known to influence students' psychosocial wellbeing as well as their academic achievement. This is especially relevant in STEM fields where marginalized…

Abdullateef, Shifan Thaha; Muhammedzein, Fatima – Arab World English Journal, 2021
Although some assessment modes have proved successful, many learning problems encountered by low achieving learners need to be fixed by a more procedurally adequate remedial classroom assessment. Many EFL instructors adopt conventional and static modes of assessment rather than flexible and humanistic assessment modes. Hence, the study aims at…

Poehner, Matthew E.; Leontjev, Dmitri – Language Teaching Research, 2020
The present article argues for a conceptual distinction between corrective feedback and mediation that emphasizes the status of the latter not as an instructional practice but as a defining feature of human psychology (Vygotsky, 1987) that has direct implications for how instruction might be approached. Specifically, Sociocultural Theory (SCT)…

Bahador, Hamid; Mofrad, Marzieh Hatami – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2020
EFL learners often have problems to speak properly in English. As the purpose of teaching speaking is to improve the learners' oral production, language teaching should maximize language use in the classrooms (Haozhang, 1997), which is achieved through implementing proper teaching techniques to require learners to learn and practice the language…

Ueno, Maomi; Miyazawa, Yoshimitsu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
Over the past few decades, many studies conducted in the field of learning science have described that scaffolding plays an important role in human learning. To scaffold a learner efficiently, a teacher should predict how much support a learner must have to complete tasks and then decide the optimal degree of assistance to support the learner's…

Salem, Walaa Abdel Fattah – Online Submission, 2021
The study aim was examining the effect of a program based on Cloud-computing platform on developing assessment strategies for EFL primary school teachers. The study reviewed the literature and previous studies dealing with assessment strategies (self-assessment, peer-assessment, strategic use of Questioning and reflection), professional learning…

Safdari, Maryam; Fathi, Jalil – Cogent Education, 2020
The current study set out to investigate the effect of dynamic assessment (DA) on the speaking accuracy and fluency of pre-intermediate English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. In contrast to static assessment, DA is conceptualized as an interactive approach towards assessment which combines teaching and testing in a unitary instructional…

Rezaee, Abbas Ali; Alavi, Seyyed Mohammad; Razzaghifard, Parisa – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
Although a number of studies have reported on the positive effects of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in the development of students' language learning, few studies have examined language assessment, particularly Dynamic Assessment (DA), in this area. Accordingly, this study aims at investigating the effect of Mobile-based Dynamic…
