Abstract

The current research aims at examining the effectiveness of a proposed interactional electronic program for the student teacher to acquire the dynamic assessment skills of the kindergarten children in light of kindergarten’s curriculum 2.0. The researcher used the Experimental Approach, both control and experimental group. The main sample consists (50) student teachers of kindergarten department’s students, in both third and fourth year of kindergarten department, Faculty of Humanities, Cairo, year 2022-2023. However, the survey sample consists of (60) student teachers. The research tools included: The student teacher's understanding scale of the dynamic assessment skills (prepared by the researcher), a web -based interactional program for the student teachers to acquire the dynamic assessment skills (prepared by the researcher).  The statistical processing found that there are statistically significant differences among the average grades of the experimental group in the student teacher's understanding scale of the dynamic assessment in both pre and post-test measuring in favor for the post one for the kindergarten student teacher. It also found that there are statistically significant differences among the average grades of both the experimental and control group in the student teacher's understanding of the dynamic assessment after the application of the program in favor for the experimental group, there were also no differences between the average scores of the experimental sample of the kindergarten student teachers in the student teacher's understanding of the post and ‎sequential measurement.
