In the translation educational setting, apart from the distinction between instruction and assessment, the apparent lack of an effective model of translation quality assessment has led us to develop a translation assessment software, which covers both diagnostic and instructional functions. More specifically, following Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and dynamic assessment approaches, this study pursued the design of a computerized open-ended bi-functional translation assessment system (COBTAS) to, firstly, enhance translation trainee's performance during the procedure by providing pre-set instructional mediations to the students. Then, it was attempted to diagnose the examinees` actual and learning potential abilities in the specified constructs. Furthermore, the study set out to ensure validity and reliability of the newly-developed software. The results revealed that COBTAS is a reliable instrument for demonstrating translation trainees` actual as well as proximal |
