ASSIGNMENT GUIDE

I. Output
PORTFOLIO in NSTP-CWTS 1
At the end of the term, the students of NSTP 1 should be able to submit a
compilation of outputs that was done during the whole semester.

II. Rationale
A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits students’
efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas. The collection must
include student participation in selecting contents, the criteria for selection, the
criteria for judging merit, and evidence of student reflection (Paulson, L.,
Paulson, P. & Meyer, 1991). In addition, with the definition, a portfolio according
to Kruzix, M. (2018), is a compilation of work samples and professional
documentation that provides proof of your accomplishments or samples of your
work. It can be a physical book or binder that organizes samples of your work, or
an online portfolio with electronic files.

Portfolios are a great way to showcase the work of NSTP 1 students of their
works, activities or tasks done during the short term. It is a way of showing not just
telling of the evidence of their relevant skills and abilities.

In this way, students are being prepared on how to be creative in their

portfolios because as soon professionals they need also to develop portfolios.
Certain professions typically use portfolio to showcase their work like artists,
designers and others documenting their work. So, in this portfolio project,
students will enhance and appreciate the importance of documentation as an
authentication of their responsibility in doing their modules.

The parts of the module are the following:

1. Curriculum vitae
2. Introduction
3. Activities, assignments, and tasks in module 1
a. Pre-assessment
b. Self-assessment – what have you done during the ECQ period or
MECQ period
