Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v11 n1 p36-44 Spr 1992

This training module is intended to clarify the notion of portfolio assessment and help users design such assessments. The rationale for assessment alternatives is presented; and portfolio definitions, characteristics, pitfalls, and design considerations are reviewed. The use of portfolios in large-scale assessments is particularly demanding of careful design. (SLD)
