  11. Contrasting Paradigms of Portfolios • Positivist Portfolios • “The purpose of the portfolio is to assess learning outcomes and those outcomes are, generally, defined externally. Positivism assumes that meaning is constant across users, contexts, and purposes. The portfolio is a receptacle for examples of student work used to infer what and how much learning has occurred.”3 • Constructivist Portfolios • “The portfolio is a learning environment in which the learner constructs meaning. It assumes that meaning varies across individuals, over time, and with purpose. The portfolio presents process, a record of the processes associated with learning itself; a summation of individual portfolios would be too complex for normative description.” 3
