Each chapter of Alternative Approaches to Assessing Young Children concludes with review questions to help students learn the key information contained within the chapter. The following are the review questions that appear at the end of Chapter 7.
  • Explain the rationale for using dynamic assessment.
  • The text states that "the emphasis on observing general processes and strategies rather than mastery of specific tasks can be helpful in differentiating whether the child has a true delay or problem or only lacks familiarity with a task or situation." Provide an example that illustrates this principle.
  • Describe and provide an example of each of the three types of facilitation strategies used to promote self-regulatory behavior.
  • How do underlying theoretical perspectives and assumptions influence dynamic assessment tools and procedures?
  • What are the three essential components of mediated learning experiences (MLEs)?
  • What is the role of the adult in a mediated learning approach?
