Dynamic assessment of self-regulated learning in preschool

Fostering self-regulated learning in preschool through dynamic assessment methodologies

“…Accordingly, the multimethod data collection of the DASP method intends to assess the complexity of the SRL strategies and processes in a dynamic manner ( Fig 1 ). Previous studies validated the method’s adequacy to assess SRL in preschool and described it in detail [ 38 , 39 ].…”

“…It gathers different types of measures to fairly assess several data (e.g., self-report, observation, product of the task) while the child solves an authentic preschool task, in a given context and time. Previous studies using the DASP method have shown positive results assessing both overt and covert SRL processes in preschool children [ 38 , 39 ], but its social validity was not investigated yet. Then, it is pertinent to understand teachers’ perceptions on the method’s utility and its feasibility in preschool daily practices regarding the design of research instruments that are ecological and socially sustained.…”

Examining pre-service teachers regulation in distance and traditional preschool design and technology education

“…Some authors have succeeded in finding positive relationships between the promotion of self-regulated learning (SRL) competencies in young learners and successful coping with school challenges [ 18 ]. Moreira, Ferreira and Viega Simão [ 19 ] presented in their study the development and validation of a method for Dynamic Assessment of Self-regulated learning in Preschool (DASP). They also found that the multidisciplinary approach used in daily work and kindergarten practise can be the right and most effective way to introduce young children to strategies and practises of self-regulated learning [ 19 ].…”

“…The child's formation and improvement of the skills needed for everyday preschool activities are influenced by the interactions between the child and the educator. Children can use mentor feedback during activities to develop SRL strategies, and educators can adapt the approach to children's individual learning needs [ 19 ].…”
