What is Dynamic Assessment?
Dynamic assessment is a method of evaluating a learner's abilities that emphasises the learning process rather than just measuring current knowledge. It involves an active teaching component, where the assessor provides support and guidance to the learner during the assessment, observing how they respond to help and identifying their potential for learning. This approach is particularly useful for understanding a learner's potential, especially in diverse populations, and for tailoring interventions to support their individual needs. The video opposite explains this in a child friendly way.

Mediated Learning Experiences are types of interactions where a mediator (like a teacher or parent) intentionally shapes a learner's interaction with the environment to enhance learning and cognitive development. It involves structuring, selecting, and interpreting stimuli for the learner, guiding them to understand and generalising new concepts and skills.
