Assessment in Learning 2

A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW

Introduction

What is portfolio assessment?

Portfolio assessment is an alternative to pen-and-paper objective test as an approach to assessing
students' learning. It is a purposeful, ongoing, dynamic, and collaborative process of gathering multiple
indicators of the students growth and development in a course or program of study.

Portfolio assessment is also a performance based approach to assessing learning but more authentic
than anyone-time performance task as it allows examination of multiple evidence of the process and product of
learning developed across time.

How do we do portfolio assessment?

In doing portfolio assessment, one should be guided by the content, learning, and equity principles.
1. Content principle suggests that portfolios should reflect the subject matter that is important for the students
to learn.
2. Learning principle suggests that portfolios should enable the students to become active and thoughtful
learners.
3. Equity principle explains that portfolios should allow students to demonstrate their learning styles and
multiple intelligences.

Portfolios could come in three types: working, show, or documentary.

1. The working portfolio is a collection of a students' day-to-day works that reflect his or her learning.
2. The show portfolio is a collection of a students' best works.
3. The documentary portfolio is a combination of a working and a show portfolio.

Steps in Portfolio Development

Set Goals

1. Set Goals
This is the first step in portfolio assessment in which the students set their goals in developing a
learning portfolio: To guide the students in stating their goals, the teachers may articulate first the goals of the
course or subject and his or her expectations to the students. Students could also ask what their parents
expect from them. They could also be given goal-setting planners.
2. Collect
In this stage, the students should start collecting all possible entries in their portfolio. They should be
advised to have a temporary container for all their entries, and this should be placed in the school so that
keeping of entries will be part of the daily activities of the students. A good practice in collecting the portfolio
entries is to have a log of all entries with a few descriptions how they were obtained and why they were kept in
the portfolio.

3. Select
This is the stage where the students are asked to select what will finally b used to gauge their success
from all their collections of possible entries in portfolio. The selection usually depends on what the teacher
requires the to do, their parents' choice, and the entries that they personally chose a the best gauge of their
accomplishment in the program. Selections could include evidence that show in- and out-of-class activities
participated in the students in relation to the program.
4. Organize
This is the stage where the students decide on how they will organize the entries. The teachers should
guide them by telling them to make a table of contents for their portfolio entries and a direction on where to find
them. The organization of the portfolio could vary depending on the style of the students. Some teachers take
this stage as the opportunity for the students to develop or hone their creativity and resourcefulness. The
organizer could also be of any material, but it is suggested that the container is something flexible that it could
allow one to add, modify, or delete any entry any time. Examples of materials used in making portfolios are
clearbook, album, accordion bag, box with dividers, envelopes, colored magazines, CDs, flash drives, or cloud-
based storage.
5. Reflect
An important trait of a portfolio is the presence of students' reflections of their experiences Making
reflective journals, log of entries, and labeling an evidence in a portfolio are just some of the different ways to
show knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values, writing skills, and creativity. This is the opportunity for the
students to reflect on the meaningfulness of their experiences, as well as the impact of their teacher's styles
and methodology in teaching.
6. Evaluate
This is the stage where the students, their peers and teachers, or even the parents are involved in
rating the achievement of the students based on their evidence of learning, their reflections of their
experiences, and the organizations of their portfolio. Rubrics are often used in rating students' performance
using their portfolios. Rubrics in rating portfolios should be given to the students, even at the beginning of the
portfolio process, so that they are guided on what to put in their portfolio and how to organize them based on
the criteria and indicators of a quality product or excellent performance. Evaluation of the portfolio could be
done by individual entry on a specified date or when the development is complete. However, most teachers
prefer rating the student-required evidence upon their submission so that the students can be given immediate
feedback on their work. What are usually rated at the end of portfolio development are the students' selected
evidence of their learning, and the packaging of their portfolio, which could reveal their personal traits.
7. Confer
This is the stage when the teachers confer with the students or parents to discuss the students'
performance and progress of learning. This is also the time to congratulate the students for their
accomplishment or to help them identify areas for their improvement.
8. Exhibit
This is the time to celebrate success in the form of an exhibit of students' portfolios. The highlight of the
exhibit is the awarding of the best learning portfolio.
