Research question: What are the abilities of children with typical and atypical development thatemerge in naturalistic interactions and how can these inform the development of alternativeassessment frameworks?Background and rationale for the study:Assessments are a constant presence in the life of children with atypical development (AD), withconsequences in terms of provision of support, inclusion in mainstream schools, and evaluation oftheir developmental progress. However, many limitations of standardised assessments have beenrepeatedly pointed out, crucially the fact that by definition they cannot take into account atypicalchildren's different approaches to problem solving, language and communication. Naturalisticstudies of children's conduct on the other hand, provide compelling evidence of spontaneouslyoccurring linguistic, cognitive and social abilities through enriched, multimodal analyses of activitiesin-context. These studies propose an alternative approach to conceptualising competences and skills.The PhD project will be devoted to identifying enabling practices used by caregivers and children'sindicators of abilities occurring in everyday adult-child interactions and define principles which couldbe used to develop new instruments complementing and supporting the work of practitioners. Theproject will use a converging methods approach combining multiple research methods, such ascorpus analysis of existing and new data capturing interactions of both typically and atypicallydeveloping children, a survey identifying practitioners' problems with existing assessments, and willuse the data obtained to develop guidelines for an alternative assessment framework.

研究问题：具有典型和非典型发展的儿童在自然互动中的能力是什么？这些能力如何为替代性评估框架的发展提供信息？研究背景和基本原理：评估是非典型发展（AD）儿童生活中的一个持续存在，在提供支持，纳入主流学校和评估其发展进展方面产生影响。然而，标准化评估的许多局限性已经被反复指出，最重要的是，根据定义，它们不能考虑到儿童解决问题，语言和沟通的不同方法。另一方面，对儿童行为的自然主义研究，通过丰富的、多模态的活动分析，提供了令人信服的证据，证明儿童的语言、认知和社会能力是自发产生的。这些研究提出了另一种方法来概念化的能力和技能。博士项目将致力于确定由照顾者和儿童使用的使能做法，并确定在日常成人与儿童互动中发生的能力指标，并确定可用于开发新工具的原则，以补充和支持从业人员的工作。该项目将使用融合方法的方法结合多种研究方法，如抗坏血酸分析现有的和新的数据捕获的互动，典型的和发育中的儿童，一项调查，确定从业者的问题与现有的评估，并将使用获得的数据，以制定指导方针的替代评估框架。
