Summary: | Dynamic assessment is a dialectic procedure requiring teachers to assess learners' progress by paying attention to students' errors while providing graduated prompts to help them fix them. Although previous studies have focused on the teachers' competence in carrying out the dynamic assessment, this case study explores the dynamic assessment conceptualization of two English language teachers. Data were gathered through video-recorded sessions, reflective reports, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Results showed that while one of the teachers reconceptualized her role as a graduated prompt provider, the other teacher resisted adopting any roles that dynamic assessment requires. The study implies careful consideration of personal and contextual factors shaping teachers' assumptions to make a change in teacher practice. Keywords: dynamic assessment, teacher beliefs, teacher professional development, Türkiye La evaluación dinámica es un procedimiento dialéctico para evaluar el progreso de los alumnos prestando atención a sus errores a fin de brindarles indicaciones graduales para corregirlos. Mientras estudios anteriores analizan la competencia de los docentes para implementar la evaluación dinámica, este estudio de caso exploró la conceptualización de la evaluación dinámica por parte de dos profesoras de inglés. Los datos se recopilaron mediante videos, reflexiones, entrevistas semiestructuradas y observaciones en el aula. Se encontró que mientras una participante conceptualizaba la evaluación dinámica como una forma de proporcionar indicaciones graduales, la otra se resistÃa a adoptar las funciones que requiere la evaluación dinámica. Para cambiar la práctica docente, se sugiere la importancia de considerar los factores personales y contextuales detrás de las suposiciones de los docentes.
