Ak. Jitendra et Ej. Kameenui, DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT AS A COMPENSATORY ASSESSMENT APPROACH - A DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS, Remedial and special education, 14(5), 1993, pp. 6-18
Disenchantment with traditional assessment procedures has prompted an
examination of alternative assessment procedures that accurately and a
dequately measure student learning (Cross, 1990). In view of this sign
ificant concern over better assessment approaches, the present article
examines the effectiveness of dynamic assessment. First, we present t
he limitations of traditional assessment techniques and develop an arg
ument for the importance of dynamic assessment. Second, we review five
models of dynamic assessment and identify their critical features. Fi
nally, we discuss the limitations of this procedure and propose guidel
ines that might assist in the more widespread use of dynamic assessmen
t by practitioners.
