PCK 4 – Assessment in Learning 2

ACTIVITY 8
Designing and Evaluating Portfolio Assessment

A. Discuss the concepts of designing and evaluating portfolio assessment in the following situations:

1. As a basic education teacher, Miss Vanna has decided to implement a portfolio in her class.
She believes that portfolio increases students’ learning and encourages students to become
more reflective learner and develops skills in evaluating strengths and weaknesses of their
work. She provides clear book for the students and tells them that they need to put all their
activities and examinations in it. Moreover, she kept on reminding her students that they will
discuss the content of the portfolio. Was the plan properly implemented and adequate? Is the
plan consistent with the principle of designing portfolio? What else does she need to improve
her implementation?

2. After a two-week workshop in utilizing portfolio assessment as an alternative tool for

assessment, Peter, together with his co-teachers, decided to use the said alternative tool with
his class. Peter suggests to the class that they will just be selecting one best output from their
work within a week. Thus, all simple exercised and other activities are not to be put in the
portfolio. The students discuss these suggestions and readily agreed on it.

Every other month, students meet with each other to critique what was included and conduct
a student-teacher conference. At the end of the school, Teacher Peter collects all portfolios,
evaluate and rate them and return to his students. Individual grade was given to each
student, including feedback.

Evaluate how well Teacher Peter conducted his implementation of portfolio assessment.
