Three Paradigms of Assessment: Measurement, Procedure, and Inquiry.
Serafini, Frank
Reading Teacher, v54 n4 p384-93 Dec 2000-Jan 2001
Describes how the three paradigms of assessment (assessment as measurement, as procedure, or as inquiry) are similar and how they are different, using writing portfolios to help distinguish between them. Presents several factors that support teachers making a "paradigm shift" from assessment as measurement to assessment as inquiry. Explains several pedagogical suggestions for teachers in such a transition. (SR)
