The emergent concepts of integrated validity were introduced through anecdotal methods of lived experience. Integrated validity was based on a set of principles about the rights of the learner to continuing enthusiasm about their learning. The practices of integrated assessments were characterized by (1) certain attributes of classroom settings, (2) self or group generated criteria to develop learning specifications, (3) a process-review methodology to reveal aspects of one's learning, and (4) meta-affective valuing to recognize the nature of one's motivation.
