This review introduces dynamic assessment and its state of the art in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Mainstream static diagnostics focus on the current state of abilities. Current test performance can be misleading if an individual’s potential is not fully developed. It also does not provide information about the possibilities of effective intervention. The dynamic assessment focuses on the potential for further development. This text describes the essential characteristics of dynamic assessment and its types of use. Provided is a brief historical context of L. S. Vygotsky, who is, with R. Feuerstein, considered to be the founder of the field of dynamic assessment. The survey of the academic texts in the Czech and Slovak language is included. A substantial section introduces methods available in the Czech Republic and Slovakia: Feuerstein’s Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD), Tzuriel’s methods, Lidz’s Application of Cognitive Functioning Scale (ACFS), Fabio’s Test of Intellectual Potential (TIP), and Džuka’s Dynamic Test of Latent Learning Abilities in 6-8-Year-Old Children (DTLUS 6-8). Dynamic assessment is an evolving and perspective field. Nevertheless, its potential is not entirely fulfilled, and it remains at the periphery of practice.

Dynamic Assessment (DA) is a postmodern notion in testing which sees instruction and assessment as inextricably mingled contending that learners will progress if provided with dynamic interactions. The main purpose of the study is to see if the scores generated by the computerized dynamic assessment (C-DA) which is grounded in Vygotsky’s theoretical framework in congruence with the concept of DA can lead to designing a syllabus which results in the participants’ reading comprehension development. In the present study, a total of 32 Iranian EFL undergraduates from a university in Iran were selected on the availability basis. The study made use of the interventionist approach (the same mediation for all individual learners) to DA due to a two-fold aim: being more economically-supported and owing to its feasibility in focusing on larger cohorts of individuals. Investigating the learners’ generated scoring profiles through CDA revealed that not only did the learners have varying problem areas but also they needed different amount of mediation for identical test items. These profiles reiterated the fact that learners with different zones of proximal development (ZPDs) require customized instructional programs to reflect their individualized needs.

Dynamic assessment (DA) as an alternative to psychometric-based testing focuses on the collaborative dialogue between the learners and the mediator to move the learners from their current capabilities. This study represents a web-based qualitative inquiry in online DA which aims at addressing the inadequacy of the diagnostic feedback of the web-based DIALANG test in reflecting learners’ potentials for future development. Applying microgenetic analysis as the general framework for data analysis, this study intended to uncover two university students’ zone of proximal development (ZPD) of English grammar structures through mediation in a synchronous computer mediated communication (SCMC) context. The findings of this study revealed the shortcomings of DIALANG test results and diagnostic feedback, which are not attuned to the learners' ZPD, and the effectiveness of online DA mediation, which can highlight the learners' microgenetic developmental trajectory to obtain a richer and more accurate understanding of the learners’ potential level of future development.

The aim of this study was to gain more in-depth understanding of students’ emotions in an EFL context by applying dynamic assessment (DA) procedures to the development of learners’ emotional intelligence. The study with 50 intermediate learners aged 12-15 used three modalities: a control group, which was taught under institute’s normal procedures; a comparison group, which received DA; and an experimental group, which received emotionalized dynamic assessment (EDA) procedures, in the form of an intervention focusing on emotional characteristics of Goleman's emotional intelligence framework with the express purpose of inducing them to work with their emotions. The study shows the potential of EDA for increasing one’s emotional intelligence and affords practical guidelines to language teachers as to how to incorporate behaviors relating to emotional intelligence into assessment procedures.

This paper proposes a new method of idiographic measurement for dynamic assessment (DA) intervention. There are two main methods of measurement for DA intervention; split -half tests and integrated scoring systems. Split-half tests of ability have proved useful from a research perspective. Integrated scoring systems coupled with case studies are useful from a practitioner perspective. The purpose of this research is to bridge the gap between research and practice by developing a methodology that is compatible with both. To this end the paper proposes a measureable idiographic method of measurement, which utilises multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) and general procrustean analysis (GPA) to analyse the result of card-sort data gathered from a learner across the entire intervention. This approach provides a method of assessment, which is both compatible with individual intervention and suited to building a body of evidence-based research for DA. An example of the method in practice is given for illustrative purposes. The initial results suggest that this approach provides a methodology that satisfies the requirements of both practitioners when formulating targeted intervention and researchers who require methods of measurement of change in ability of the individual over time.

Dynamic assessment constitutes an alternative diagnostic approach, focused on revelation of the tested person's real potential, which is reached and observed via the emphasis on the process of the achievement. It aims at meaningful connection with the intervention that immediately makes use of diagnostic findings to support the development of an individual. The article issues of the diploma thesis, whose goal was to create the basic, but representative and complex summary about this new diagnostic stream that remains not very developed area in the Czech Republic. The following text summarizes main characteristics of the dynamic approach and shows the possibilities of utilization of the dynamic approach, especially in the area of preschool diagnostic and education, namely through a qualitatively designed comparative research, aimed at the examination of the effect of the preschool adjustment, created on the basis of the dynamic approach. The method serves as an instrument of the prevention of educational and behavioural difficulties during the first years of the school attendance. Article is an informative summary about the research, contents the interpretation of the theoretic basis of the work.

Dynamické hodnocení představuje alternativní diagnostický přístup zaměřený na odkrytí reálného potenciálu testované osoby, k němuž směřuje skrze orientaci na proces výkonu. Usiluje o smysluplné propojení s intervencí, které bezprostředně využívá diagnostická zjištění k podpoře rozvoje daného jedince. Článek vychází z diplomové práce, jejíž stěžejní cíl spočíval ve vytvoření základního, avšak reprezentativního a komplexně pojatého souhrnu informací o tomto novém diagnostickém proudu, který u nás zatím zůstává nepříliš rozpracovanou oblastí. Následující text shrnuje základní charakteristiky dynamického přístupu a poukazuje na možnosti využití dynamického přístupu, zejména v oblasti předškolní diagnostiky a vzdělávání, a to prostřednictvím kvalitativně pojatého komparativního výzkumného šetření, zacíleného na ověření účinnosti metodiky předškolní přípravy. Daná metodika byla vytvořena na bázi dynamického přístupu a slouží jako prostředek prevence výchovných a vzdělávacích obtíží v prvních letech školní docházky. Článek je informativním souhrnem průběhu výzkumného šetření, obsahuje rovněž výklad teoretického zázemí práce.
