Abstract
Beer Although dynamic assessment (DA) has been hailed as a positive move towards fair assessment, it has generally not
been used in educational or industry settings to the same extent that standard (static) tests have been. The present
article attempts to elucidate how the use of Item Response Theory (IRT) and Computerised Adaptive Testing (CAT) can
address some of the problems typically associated with dynamic assessment. An example of a DA tool that makes use
of IRT and CAT, shows acceptable psychometric properties and is comparable to standard tests in terms of ease of
administration illustrates the possibility of wider application of DA in both educational and industry settings.
