Description¶

Curriculum-based dynamic assessment (CBDA) begins with the selection of relevant curriculum content and construction of an appropriate curriculum-based assessment to serve as both pre- and post-assessment. The dynamic component enters by applying a "pre-assessment, intervention, post-assessment format that includes a dynamic intervention which addresses the processing demands of the selected tasks in relation to the processing capabilities of the learner". This model, drawing on Lidz (1991) and Haywood & Lidz (2007), was the framework the study used to integrate instruction, curriculum, and assessment.
