Research Article
This study examined the effects of strategy instruction and scaffolding mediation in dynamic assessment through a two-way ANOVA (2×3) factorial experimental design. In addition, a contingent control group was used to clarify the effects of each group more precisely. Overall, the results indicate significant main effects of the factorial design without interaction effects, and such findings were the same in all analyzed scores except for the transfer performances of strategy instruction. Furthermore, the effects of integrated-form were better than the effects of cognitive-form in strategy instruction. The effects of continuum of assessment model were better than the others, but there were no differences between graduated prompting hierarchy and process-oriented instruction. The performances of all treatment groups were better than the contingent control group. Finally, there were large effect sizes and strength of association in almost all analyses.
