Diagnostic and dynamic assessment share a common goal, namely promoting learning and teaching. Diagnostic assessment emphasizes carefully defined and measured constructs in order to provide detailed information regarding learner strengths and weaknesses. Dynamic assessment takes a dialectical view of teaching and assessment. Thus, support is provided to learners during dynamic assessment whenever they require it, which yields insights into learners' abilities and simultaneously promotes these abilities. The goal of the symposium is to take stock of, and bring together, the most interesting recent developments in both diagnostic and dynamic assessment to pave way for integrating the strengths of these two assessment frameworks. To set the scene for the symposium, the featured speaker, Professor Matthew Poehner, will give a talk about an ongoing project that aims to merge dynamic and diagnostic assessment. We encourage participation from scholars working on dynamic assessment or diagnostic assessment. The expected outcome of the symposium is to initiate dialogue among the researchers with a view to start a new line of research merging the two assessment approaches into a dynamic diagnostic assessment framework. This could lead both to new theoretical frameworks and novel practical applications of assessment. Click here for the detailed program
