Portfolio Assessment
• Portfolio assessment is also a performance-based approach in
assessing learning but more authentic than any one-time
performance task as it allows examination of multiple evidences
of the process and product of learning developed across time.
• It is a purposeful, ongoing, and a dynamic process of gathering
multiple indicators of a learner’s growth and development in a
course or program of study.

Why Use Portfolio Assessment

• It demonstrates what students know in


ways that encompass their personal
learning styles and multiple intelligences.

• It allows teachers to reflect on the


effectiveness of their instruction.

• It provides teachers freedom of


gaining insights into the students’
development or achievement over a
period of time.

Since performance-based assessment is time consuming,
design a task that could integrate two or more
competencies. Can you think of an authentic task that
could cover the MELCs appropriate for performance-based
assessment? Then develop the rubric to assess the task.

Sample Rubric in Assessing Learning through Portfolios
Recommendations to the Teacher
1 If the student gets a grade below 75%, allow for re-submission of work.
2 The required entries in the portfolio could be graded using a more analytic
rubric.
3 The required entries in the portfolio could be submitted one at a time at a
certain period agreed-upon by the teacher and students for initial
evaluation and feedbacking on the work.
4 Set up a portfolio exhibit to celebrate the success of the students in
achieving the competencies targeted for the quarter.
5 Use the student's portfolio when conferring with the student and parents to
identify the strengths and areas for improvement of the student
6 Grade the summative tests separately. If at least 80% of the students have
scored at least 60% correct in the test, then grade the test. If not, then
decide if you just add the weight of the summative tests to the portfolio
grade to get the final grade of the student.
