Laure-- One place to start is with the work of Ann Brown and for sure I would include the ongoing work of Alex Kozulin and his colleagues. Ann died several years ago, but worried about the issue a lot here is one ref, and one early article that may be of help. mike ------------- Linking dynamic assessment with school achievement.<http://search.proquest.com/psycinfo/docview/617354260/1398D4FE1724FB99796/3?accountid=14524> Campione, Joseph C.; Brown, Ann L.. In *Dynamic assessment: An interactional approach to evaluating learning potential*, by Campione, Joseph C., Brown, Ann L., 82-115. New York, NY, US:Guilford Press, 1987.
