Dynamic assessment (DA) as an alternative to psychometric-based testing focuses on the collaborative dialogue between the learners and the mediator to move the learners from their current capabilities. This study represents a web-based qualitative inquiry in online DA which aims at addressing the inadequacy of the diagnostic feedback of the web-based DIALANG test in reflecting learners’ potenti...

The purpose of this study is to advance the notion scaffolding in coaching as a socio-pedagogic activity through exploring “doing” during competition preparation period. Using method critical companionship, analysis draws on storied representation coach’s practice.

This study aims evaluate response ‘Crystal’ guava (Psidium guajava L.) seedling in pinching DBC application. experiment was carried out Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture, Universitas Lampung from March June 2021, with a randomized completely block design (RCBD)...

One of the theories accounting for pragmatic development of L2 learners is Vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural  theory.  This  study  investigated  the  development  of  EFL  learners'  pragmatic competence through the lens of an important concept of Vygotsky’s theory, i.e.  the  zone  of proximal  development.  The  study  was  conducted  to  answer  two  questions.  The  first  question was wheth...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To observe the effects of vitrification on spindle, zona pellucida, embryonic aneuploidy and DNA injury in in vivo-maruted, in vitro-mature and immature human oocytes. METHODS Between January 2009 and February 2015, 223 immature oocytes from 450 infertile patients, and 31 in vivo-mature oocytes from 3 infertile couples were collected. Of the 223 immature oocytes, 113 were used...

submitted to the Xth VCI 2004 30 November 2003 This BaBar L1 DCT upgrade is essential for improving L1 trigger background rejection in preparation for the expected increase in PEP-II luminosity. A large fraction of the current L1 trigger background come from interactions of beam particles with beam line components at ∼ ±20 cm from the interaction point (IP), along the beam direction (z axis). T...

The present study aimed at investigating the possible impact ofZone of Proximal Development (ZPD) on the learners’ performance. Forty-sixIranian university students participated in this study by taking two types of readingcomprehension tests (i.e., the main idea and Wh-question type). The researchersused the Winstep program to analyze the data and estimate the learners’ Raschmeasure in pre, pos...
