A construção de um Sistema Educacional de fato inclusivo precisa comtemplar também estudantes com maior potencial. Identificá-los, ainda em sala de aula, pode possibilitar a promoção de seu desenvolvimento pleno. Diversas estratégias têm sido utilizadas com essa finalidade. Com o objetivo de analisar o uso de avaliação assistida em processos de identificação de dotação intelectual, foram realizados dois estudos complementares. Inicialmente a produção científica em Psicologia sobre Avaliação Assistida (AA) foi analisada. Recuperaram-se artigos (N=38) que relatam estudos empíricos sobre AA e que foram publicados entre 2008 e 2013, indexados pela PsycINFO. Os resultados evidenciaram que a produção científica sobre AA é bastante reduzida e que, em síntese, esse modelo tem sido empregado fundamentalmente por psicólogos, em escolas, para avaliar a linguagem de crianças com deficiências ou dificuldades escolares de forma individual. Com a análise de conteúdo, foram identificados quatro tipos de AA: Avaliação Assistida Estruturada (AAE), Avaliação Assistida Dinâmica (AAD), Avaliação Assistida Clínica (AAC) e Avaliação Assistida Dinâmica e Estruturada (AADE). O primeiro é o mais comumente usado. É possível afirmar que se trata de uma alternativa recente, inovadora, viável, dinâmica e interativa de avaliação psicológica, principalmente de crianças com necessidades educacionais especiais. Tendo como base o primeiro estudo, foi planejado e realizado um quase experimento que analisou a utilização da AA como parte de um processo de identificação de dotação intelectual no contexto escolar. Foram testados dois modelos: AAD e AAE. Constatou-se que a AAE contribui mais para o aumento da capacidade intelectual que AAD e que uma intervenção placebo. Também parece ser mais adequada para avaliação do potencial de aprendizagem. Utilizar AA, principalmente AAE, como parte de um processo de dotação intelectual enriquece a avaliação, pois, além da capacidade intelectual permite inferir o potencial de aprendizagem. Consequentemente, é aumentada a possibilidade de se diferenciar falsos negativos e falsos positivos. Em conjunto, os estudos geraram um conhecimento que contribuem para áreas aplicadas e básicas da Psicologia, como Avaliação Psicológica, Psicologia Escolar e Psicologia do Desenvolvimento. / If converted into talent, giftedness represents an important social commodity that has been systematically neglected in Brazil. In addition, the construction of an Inclusive Educational System in fact also needs to contemplate students with greater potential. Identify them while they are still in classroom, can enable the promotion of their full development. Several strategies have been used for this purpose. With the objective of analyzing the use of assisted assessment in the process of identification of intellectual giftedness, two complementary studies were carried out. Initially the scientific production in Psychology on Dynamic Assessment (DA) was analyzed. It was retrieved articles (N = 38) that reported empirical studies on DA. They were published between 2008 and 2013 and were indexed by PsycINFO. The results demonstrated that the scientific production on DA is very reduced and that, in synthesis, this model has been used fundamentally by psychologists in the school to evaluate language of children with disabilities or school difficulties individually. Using content analysis, four types of DA were identified: Structured Dynamic Assessment (SDA), Active Dynamic Assessment (ADA), Clinical Dynamic Assessment (CDA) and Structured and Active Dynamic Assessment (SADA). The first one is the most commonly used. It is possible to affirm that this is a recent, innovative, viable, dynamic and interactive alternative of psychological evaluation, especially of children with special educational needs. Based on the first study, a quasi-experiment was planned and carried out that analyzed the use of DA as part of a process of identifying intellectual giftedness in the school context. Two models were tested: ADA and SDA. It was found that the SDA contributes more to the intellectual capacity increase than ADA and a placebo intervention. It also seems to be more suitable for assessing learning potential. Using AA, especially SDA, as part of an intellectual giftedness process enriches the assessment once, in addition to the intellectual capacity, it allows to infer the learning potential. Consequently, the possibility of differentiating false negatives and false positives is increased. Together, the studies produced knowledge that contribute to applied and basic areas of Psychology, such as Psychological Assessment, School Psychology and Developmental Psychology.

The subject of this thesis "Possibilities of a visual perception test within dynamic diagnos- tics" is to find out how is it possible to work with preschool children by dynamically ori- ented approach with Visual perception test. The thesis contains theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on explaining the foundations of dynamic diagnostics, development of children's visual perception and the possibilities of its diagnosis in the pre- school age. In the empirical part of the work are through case studies presented individual cases of children with whom research investigation was realised. The conclusion summa- ries the recommendations for the intervention phase of dynamic diagnostics using Visual perception test. Data were collected using participant observation, interviews with the chil- dren, product analysis and by standardised test.

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the application of a dynamic assessment technique of questioning with children, with projection testing. A qualitative research design were used within a postmodern epistomology, using three case studies in the quest for answering the research question. Possible cultural influences pertaining to the research situation, analysis and interpretation of responses has been taken into account. A test-training-test situation has been created during the generation of data, while assessment of projection was executed. Data analises and interpretation took place in two phases, the first phase being the projection analysis and the second phase the structural analysis of the stories. The main conclusions of the study points towards a deepening and broadening of projections as resulting influences of the utilisation of a dynamic assessment technique of questioning with children. / Dissertation (MEd (Educational Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

The diploma thesis aims to present newly proposed methods of dynamic assessment of executive functions and evaluate their benefits through a pilot study. The theoretical section introduces dynamic approach to assessment and its methods and also describes the area of executive functions. The research part presents the proposed tests, focusing on the assessment of planning skills, cognitive flexibility, logical reasoning, working memory and self- monitoring. Their principle is the method of graduated prompts. The research sample used for the study consisted of thirty respondents aged from eight to fifteen years. The respondents were divided into two groups with the same number of participants. The first group included children with special educational needs, the second group involved intact respondents. The results of the study were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively. Within the quantitative part, the number of necessary prompts and completed items was compared in both groups. The qualitative part focused on a detailed analysis of diagnostically relevant information obtained using the aforementioned methods. The results of the quantitative part of the research showed that the groups differ from each other neither in the number of graduated prompts required, nor in the number of completed...

The first objective of this research was to investigate the predictive validity of the learning potential as measured by Ability, Processing of Information and Learning Potential Short Version (APIL SV) in predicting work performance. The second objective was to investigate the predictive validity of personality as measured by the Occupational Personality Questionnaire Ipsative (OPQ32i) in predicting work performance. The sample consisted of 104 employees of a public sector department. Learning potential and personality were the predictor/independent variables; work performance as measured by supervisory rating was the only criterion/dependent variable of the study. The results revealed that both the APIL SV and the OPQ 32i dimensions did not correlate significantly with work performance as measured by supervisor rating. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

The aim of this thesis is to verify the practical utility of the Application of Cognitive Functions Scale (ACFS) to determin cognitive development of pre-school children. The theoretical part looks into specifics of the pre-school period and introduces the precise meaning of dynamic assessment, which is typical by its format consisting of three phases: pre- test - intervention - post-test. This part outlines the ACFS method and the influence of an adult on the process of mediated learning experience, which is a vital part of the intervention phase of the dynamic assessment. The empirical part describes the use of dynamic assessment and examines the possibilities of the ACFS method to observe the potential of cognitive functions development of pre-school children. The results show that the ACFS method is well-adapted to identify the potential of cognitive functions development of children and it provides specific and efficient guidelines for further development of their cognitive skills. Keywords: pre-school period, dynamic assessment, mediated learning experience, ACSF method, cognitive development of children

Le travail aborde la modélisation et l’analyse de systèmes complexes, caractérisés, dans un cadre incertain et évolutif, par de nombreuses interactions entre composants. Dans un cadre de gestion des risques, le travail vise à créer un modèle causal spatio-temporel pour l’explication et la probabilisation de certains événements redoutés à des fins de diagnostic et de pronostic. Le travail de modélisation est basé sur l’approche bayésienne et, plus particulièrement, sur les Réseaux Bayésiens (RB). Dans l’optique de considérer des systèmes de grande taille et de représenter leur complexité spatio-temporelle, leur caractère multiéchelles et incertain dans un cadre dynamique, l’idée de ce travail est alors d’étendre le concept des Réseaux Bayesiens Dynamiques (RBD) et d’utiliser le paradigme Orienté Objet pour l’appliquer aux réseaux bayésiens. Dans leur forme actuelle, les réseaux bayésiens orientés objet permettent de créer des instances réutilisables mais non instanciables. En d’autres termes, cela implique que l’objet généré est susceptible d’être appelé plusieurs fois dans la construction d’un modèle mais sans pour autant que ces paramètres (tables de probabilités marginales ou conditionnelles) ne soient modifiés. Ce travail de thèse vise à combler cette lacune en proposant une approche structurée permettant de construire des grands systèmes à base d’objets (caractérisés par des réseaux bayésiens simples) dont les paramètres peuvent être actualisés en fonction de l’instant ou du contexte de leur appel et de leur utilisation. Ce concept est concrétisé sous la forme de Réseaux Bayésiens Multidimensionnels par leur propension à combiner plusieurs dimensions qu’elles soient spatiales ou temporelles. / The work addresses the modelling and analysis of complex systems, characterized, in an uncertain and evolving framework, by numerous interactions between components. Within a risk management framework, the work aims to create a spatio-temporal causal model for the explanation and probability of certain feared events for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The modelling work is based on the Bayesian approach and, more specifically, on the Bayesian Networks (BN). In an attempt to consider large-scale systems and represent their spatio-temporal complexity, their multi-scale and uncertain character in a dynamic framework, the idea of this work is then to extend the concept of Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBN) and use the Object Oriented paradigm to apply it to Bayesian networks. In their current form, object-oriented Bayesian networks can create reusable but not instantiable instances. In other words, this implies that the generated object is likely to be called several times in the construction of a model, but without these parameters (marginal or conditional probabilities tables) being modified. This thesis aims to fill this gap by proposing a structured approach to construct large object-based systems (characterized by simple Bayesian networks) whose parameters can be updated according to the moment or context of their call and use. This concept is embodied in the form of Bayesian Multidimensional Networks by their propensity to combine several dimensions, whether spatial or temporal.

In his keynote address to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics research pre-session, Sloane (2006b) challenged mathematics education researchers to ‘quantify qualitative insights’. This quasi-experimental study used blended methods to investigate the development of two-digit addition and subtraction strategies. Concurrent classroom teaching experiments were conducted in two intact first grade classrooms (n = 41) in a mid-Atlantic American public school. From a pragmatic emergent perspective, design research (Gravemeijer & Cobb, 2006) was used to develop local instructional theory. An amplified theoretical framework for early base-ten strategies is explicated. Multilevel modelling for repeated measures was used to evaluate the differences in strategy usage between classes across occasions and the association of particular pedagogical practices with the emergence of incrementing and decrementing by ten (N10) or decomposition (1010) strategies (Beishuizen, Felix, & Beishuizen, 1990).The two matched classes were not different in terms of gender, poverty, race, pre-assessment performance, and special education services. After the first unit of instruction with differentiated pedagogical tools, the collection class was significantly (p = .001) more likely to use 1010 than the linear class. No difference was demonstrated during the post-assessment. Students in both classes were more likely to use N10 during the last structured interview than in the first (p < .0001). Furthermore, there was no difference between the two classes in using any advanced strategy; however, students in both classes were more likely to use an advanced strategy at the conclusion of the study than they were initially (p = .033). The order of emergence of 1010 and N10 was not associated with the ability to develop both strategies, but there was an association (p < .001) between use of an advanced strategy and success on a district-mandated written assessment of two-digit addition and subtraction.Two original instructional sequences of contextually-based investigations are presented. Protocols transcribed from videotaped lessons and dynamic assessment interviews are presented to illuminate specific constructs detected and to illustrate the pedagogical techniques. An amplified framework for early place value constructs is proposed. Recommendations for future studies, curricular changes, and the need of early intervention are discussed.
