Full transcript
- 0:00Hi and hello. Welcome to the second
- 0:03part of this lecture series. Today
- 0:06we'll look at the question of status
- 0:08and progress diagnostics, and which
- 0:10diagnostic models we use or are
- 0:12generally familiar with. The first
- 0:14question is, what is status diagnostics
- 0:17, or why do I call it status
- 0:19diagnostics? Well, it’s simply about
- 0:22a profile, a status at a specific point
- 0:24in time. And in most classical
- 0:28diagnostic processes, where you go to a
- 0:31school psychologist or, in some form,
- 0:33want to know everything about this or
- 0:35that problem at one measurement point,
- 0:37you likely use various test instruments
- 0:39to clarify several aspects to decide:
- 0:42Is there a need for support, and if so,
- 0:44what does it look like? And whenever I
- 0:49need a profile, so to speak, where I
- 0:52clarify multiple aspects to then decide
- 0:54: Yes, this is exactly where support
- 0:56should begin or here in. This structure
- 1:00should be changed, then I need
- 1:01comprehensive knowledge, and whenever I
- 1:04need comprehensive knowledge, I also
- 1:06need more time, and that's when status
- 1:08diagnostics is the answer. On the other
- 1:13hand, if I already know it’s about a
- 1:15math difficulty, about this or that
- 1:17specific area, and I want to reflect on
- 1:20support decisions and discuss whether
- 1:22the support is working or not, then
- 1:24progress diagnostics is the better
- 1:26choice. Then it's not about observing
- 1:32many things simultaneously, but rather
- 1:34the relevant aspects of the support.
- 1:39For example, if I want to check
- 1:41arithmetic fluency in addition up to
- 1:43100, or just determine: can they handle
- 1:46the tens transition or not? If I have a
- 1:52yes or no question, I can answer it
- 1:54easily by giving 20 tasks. And if I see
- 1:58they can solve most of them and they
- 1:59have the right strategy, then that’s
- 2:01wonderful. However, if it involves
- 2:08longer-term support—meaning we are
- 2:10working on addition up to 100 over a
- 2:12longer period, and we’ve considered
- 2:14several interventions or actions, and
- 2:16only slow progress is visible, which is
- 2:19usually the case with learning
- 2:20difficulties. Then the idea of a
- 2:26learning progress diagnostic graph is
- 2:29very good, because then I can see
- 2:30exactly which support is working and
- 2:32what is slowly improving. Then you can
- 2:35perhaps subdivide that, and I basically
- 2:38have the idea of testing multiple times
- 2:40. So, if you look at the individual
- 2:42case examples or the evaluation below,
- 2:45you could, for instance, do a pre-, mid
- 2:47-, and post-phase. And the idea of
- 2:51measuring more frequently is simply
- 2:53that I can more clearly determine where
- 2:55the true value lies. Because we always
- 2:59have various everyday factors and
- 3:01unsystematic errors that influence us,
- 3:03and on the other hand, we also have
- 3:05support or a support phase where we
- 3:07want to see—perhaps with a bit of a
- 3:09delay, since people need to sleep on it
- 3:11—active learning. So just because
- 3:16you've briefly explained something
- 3:18doesn't mean it’s being implemented
- 3:20at the behavioral level, and hopefully,
- 3:22we then see a learning achievement, an
- 3:24increase, simply a higher number of
- 3:26tasks solved. And that is exactly the
- 3:29idea behind formative assessment. This
- 3:31means that during the support phase, I
- 3:33already get results and see whether the
- 3:35support is working or not. That is, of
- 3:37course, only one aspect when I am
- 3:39practicing and providing support. I
- 3:41naturally also see how the person
- 3:43reacts, how they act, what feedback
- 3:45they want, and what strategies they
- 3:47choose to solve this or that task. That
- 3:52is also a second important aspect of
- 3:54support, but here in terms of
- 3:55diagnostics, one can simply look at one
- 3:58thing, and that is represented by this
- 4:00graph. That is the core idea of
- 4:03progress monitoring. How does this
- 4:05relate to diagnostic models in
- 4:07themselves? Here there was, on one hand
- 4:10, the classic, traditional idea of
- 4:13special education diagnostics, that we
- 4:15have a very strong integration of
- 4:17diagnostics, support, and evaluation.
- 4:20So, classically speaking, there was
- 4:22actually only diagnostics, and the
- 4:23support was something else entirely and
- 4:25sometimes had nothing to do with each
- 4:27other. But that was never good. And
- 4:30that is why the interplay has always
- 4:32been an important aspect, and Mr.
- 4:34Heimlich, along with other special
- 4:36educators, has captured this in various
- 4:38models. And in this process, you simply
- 4:42conduct status diagnostics twice—once
- 4:44at the beginning and once at the end—
- 4:46with an intervention in between. And
- 4:50what is important is that the support
- 4:52is relatively specifically linked to
- 4:54the diagnostics, and the evaluation
- 4:56aims at a summative result exactly at
- 4:58the end of the support: Did the support
- 5:00plan hold up or not? And if that were
- 5:06practically implemented, we as
- 5:08scientists would be in agreement on
- 5:10everything regarding the practical
- 5:12progress or the critique of support
- 5:13plans, especially in the field of
- 5:15special education. If we look at
- 5:18various studies from Mose Opz. Then we
- 5:21see: status diagnostics are sometimes
- 5:24done. Support plans, and especially
- 5:26their evaluation, are rather not done,
- 5:29or at least they are not
- 5:30domain-specific or precise. The goals
- 5:33are also not clearly defined, and the
- 5:35evaluation does not take place to the
- 5:38extent one would wish; rather, it is
- 5:40usually based on observations or
- 5:42smaller elements. But if you consider
- 5:45what success in a pedagogical measure
- 5:47actually is, it is simply that I reach
- 5:49the goal. So, in terms of
- 5:53output-oriented management, I should
- 5:55really consider whether I am reaching
- 5:57my goal in the end, whether I am
- 5:59effective, and see that as the
- 6:00essential element of my pedagogy,
- 6:02rather than giving special weight to
- 6:04any other aspects. The model by Werneu
- 6:08is essentially similar and also places
- 6:10process diagnostics in the foreground
- 6:12here. It also has this three-step
- 6:15approach, so it is not different in any
- 6:17way. I just spent a long time searching
- 6:19to see if I could find any more models
- 6:21or people who have formulated it this
- 6:23way. And that is where I found the two
- 6:24of them. In the meantime, there is a
- 6:28third model, the Gritt model, which, as
- 6:30far as I have understood it so far,
- 6:32focuses primarily on status diagnostics
- 6:35and various forms of support, and is
- 6:37more of a grid, similar to the grid
- 6:39developed by Ms. Lutz, which
- 6:41practically covers support planning or
- 6:43a support report. But I am sure this
- 6:47model will be developed further, and
- 6:48then I will include it as well. And if
- 6:51you know of any other models, please
- 6:52feel free to write them in the comments
- 6:54. Many models that are linked to
- 6:57diagnostics and support are more
- 6:58subject-didactically oriented, meaning
- 7:01based on a concrete subject. I have not
- 7:04included those here and am therefore
- 7:06not currently referring to them. But
- 7:08they are just as good, so to speak. As
- 7:11a second model or as an extension of
- 7:13this previous summative model with a
- 7:15beginning and an end, there is the idea
- 7:18of learning progress diagnostics. Mr.
- 7:22Helbert from Potsdam was the first to
- 7:24present it this way. I have expanded it
- 7:27a bit, and in case you are wondering
- 7:29why on earth it is green. That is
- 7:32because a mishap simply occurred during
- 7:34the formatting. What is important is
- 7:37that you can read it. And the idea is
- 7:40now similar to the model before. This
- 7:43is practically shown on the left now.
- 7:45You have an occasion, you have a status
- 7:47diagnosis, you determine the need for
- 7:49support, and you set the support goal.
- 7:53You probably do that once, or do one
- 7:55larger diagnostic at the beginning, but
- 7:57then you actually move into a kind of
- 7:59classroom-based assessment. You know
- 8:03roughly where the support goals are.
- 8:06They do not change significantly
- 8:08anymore; rather, it is much more
- 8:10important to reach the individual
- 8:11target areas of the support diagnostics
- 8:14. And when you are in the second step,
- 8:16it is actually more sensible to proceed
- 8:19formatively, because then you already
- 8:21know what the support is supposed to
- 8:23achieve, and the fundamental question
- 8:25is: is the support highly effective?
- 8:28That would be desirable, then
- 8:30everything works wonderfully. Then you
- 8:32can set the next support goal at the
- 8:34next level, so to speak. On the other
- 8:39hand, if the intervention isn't working
- 8:41, I should ideally find out immediately
- 8:43, perhaps through progress monitoring
- 8:45or formative assessment, because the
- 8:47moment it’s formative, I can adjust
- 8:49the intervention accordingly during the
- 8:52phase. And if we know anything in
- 8:56pedagogy, it's that feedback is always
- 8:58most effective when it is immediate.
- 9:02Most feedback, like when you take a
- 9:04test last week and get the results two
- 9:07weeks later, simply lacks stringency.
- 9:11Then you don't know where to start or
- 9:13how to improve the whole thing. So, the
- 9:15more immediate the feedback you receive
- 9:17and the sooner you can adapt, the
- 9:19better the whole process is. And it's
- 9:23the same with interventions: when you
- 9:25adapt them and say, "Ah yes, after the
- 9:27second session, as you plan further
- 9:29sessions, I reflect on: What's working,
- 9:32what isn't, what should I adjust, what
- 9:34other structure do I have, where could
- 9:36I tweak things?" These are exactly the
- 9:40decisions you need, and you don't want
- 9:42to wait until you have a result again
- 9:44after half a year. And that is exactly
- 9:49what progress monitoring is for—so
- 9:51you have immediate decisions—and that
- 9:53is becoming easier with computer-based
- 9:55diagnostics or certain learning games,
- 9:57and I think that’s where the future
- 9:59lies. Whether it's Leifumi or other
- 10:06things like learning lines or similar
- 10:07instruments, or now AI-based systems
- 10:09that perhaps also have learning games
- 10:11and interventions at the same time,
- 10:13regardless, there will always be some
- 10:15kind of feedback for the teacher. When
- 10:20do I need to make which decision, and
- 10:22the more immediate it is, the better it
- 10:24is. Now I am on chapter 2.3. This is
- 10:27theoretically a small leap back into
- 10:30history. Why am I starting again with
- 10:32the zone of proximal development? And
- 10:34Vygotsky, ultimately, is clear; many
- 10:37things in special education are built
- 10:39upon these ideas from the
- 10:41cultural-historical school. I am
- 10:44evaluating this entire script in terms
- 10:46of diagnostics, and this idea of the
- 10:48zone of proximal development is quite
- 10:50interesting because if you imagine
- 10:52taking current school achievement tests
- 10:54, you do them without help. So you
- 10:57don't get any support at all. So all
- 11:00ideas of testing, and even identifying
- 11:03a disorder, are based on current
- 11:05development, even though we as
- 11:07educators are more focused on the idea
- 11:09of future development, i.e., the zone
- 11:11of proximal development. Then the
- 11:14question is: is our testing system
- 11:16actually completely outdated, since we
- 11:18want to move toward development? Why,
- 11:21why can't we test in a way that brings
- 11:24us much closer to actual development? I
- 11:27mean, why must we always only capture
- 11:29the current status? That is exactly the
- 11:32question that Good and other
- 11:34psychologists asked themselves, leading
- 11:36them to the conclusion that we really
- 11:38need to adapt and change this. And the
- 11:44first or simplest idea one might have,
- 11:46which is in that sense a so-called
- 11:48dynamic testing, is simply to have
- 11:50multiple testing intervals. And, above
- 11:55all, Marco Hessels discovered that if I
- 11:57have an individual with an intellectual
- 11:59disability—someone who finds certain
- 12:02tasks difficult and for whom
- 12:03instructions are not always clear. And
- 12:06even though these individuals are
- 12:08tested quite frequently with IQ tests,
- 12:10it is not at all clear whether they
- 12:11actually understand all the
- 12:13instructions involved. And the CFT also
- 12:15has a few more difficult elements in
- 12:17its subtests, as I would describe them.
- 12:21And that is when the idea came up. Well
- 12:23, one could simply take the first test,
- 12:26discard it, and then proceed with the
- 12:28second test. And the second test is
- 12:32simply much more reliable because they
- 12:34have already become accustomed to the
- 12:36testing procedure and the environment,
- 12:38allowing them to truly reach their
- 12:40maximum potential in the test. That
- 12:45would be, so to speak, a first step.
- 12:49But dynamic testing actually goes much
- 12:52further, namely: The idea behind it is
- 12:54to truly enter the zone of proximal
- 12:56development, much like a teacher or
- 12:58mentor who helps one progress to the
- 13:00next level with the right guidance and
- 13:02helps one understand more difficult
- 13:04tasks. One could approach dynamic
- 13:13testing in the same way, by focusing
- 13:15not on the tasks and their difficulty,
- 13:17but rather on the number of prompts the
- 13:19person receives to understand the next
- 13:21task. And the fewer prompts someone
- 13:28needs, the higher their potential, the
- 13:30faster that person understands, and the
- 13:32faster they can reach the next level.
- 13:37And if you now imagine that we might
- 13:39have some kind of computer-based
- 13:41environment or learning games in the
- 13:43future, and in these games—however
- 13:45they are designed—they not only have
- 13:47current tasks but also provide hints
- 13:49and support, then we are already quite
- 13:51close to this idea of dynamic testing.
- 13:57And that is exactly the reason why I am
- 13:59including this in these psychology
- 14:01topics, so one simply considers: well,
- 14:03there are these current tests with
- 14:05their tasks at the current level, and
- 14:07there is a kind of competence track or
- 14:09learning ladder where I assume a higher
- 14:11level and I provide hints. And that is
- 14:16precisely where we arrive at this idea
- 14:18of the zone of proximal development.
- 14:22And the question arises much more about
- 14:25which hints or support measures are
- 14:27needed, and if so, how many? And those
- 14:32can just as easily be evaluated for
- 14:34diagnostics. 2.4 is data-based decision
- 14:38making. This is ultimately similar to
- 14:41the previous models with learning
- 14:43progress diagnostics or status
- 14:45diagnostics, in that it is about
- 14:46collecting information. Only the idea
- 14:50here is the question: what is relevant
- 14:52information, what is less relevant
- 14:54information, what is one-time
- 14:56information, and what is process
- 14:58information? So it is practically a
- 15:03model where I am aware of what
- 15:04information I am receiving, which
- 15:06information is truly important and
- 15:08relevant, and how I collect it further
- 15:10and discuss it in my team. And that is
- 15:15exactly what we actually need in school
- 15:17. That, firstly: everyone must be
- 15:19informed about what information is even
- 15:22available, what support decisions are
- 15:24associated with it, and how do we work
- 15:26together? And then you need a recurring
- 15:31workflow where I say: I first set a
- 15:33goal, then I collect the data and
- 15:35analyze it, then I take the measures,
- 15:37implement them, and evaluate them. And
- 15:41then I apply the evaluation again, and
- 15:44that also exists as a research cycle.
- 15:46Mr. Cool and I have already written
- 15:48papers on this, and many others have
- 15:50also contributed many ideas. And this
- 15:54is, so to speak, this model that Ms.
- 15:56Lutz has illustrated nicely here with a
- 15:58very good practical example, where she
- 16:01wrote a good article or contribution
- 16:03with a lot of practical relevance,
- 16:05where it is about the implementation of
- 16:07this model, and you can find it here. I
- 16:11will not go into detail on this article
- 16:13now.
