Assessment & Research
Support
The Center's primary focus
is on the assessment of the Perry scheme. Assessment approaches available
from the Center cover a range of existing formats in developmental assessment: semi-structured interview protocols, production-style
essays, and a recognition-style preference task instrument. Each approach
has particular uses and its own strengths and weaknesses, depending on the
nature of the study being conducted. The instruments
are complementary and can be used simultaneously if appropriate for a given
project.
