Activity 1.
b. Student’s portfolio – On my readings, It is about the collection of academic work and other
forms of educational evidence gathered for the purposes of evaluating coursework quality,
learning progress, and academic achievement. Determining whether students have met learning
standards or other academic requirements for courses, grade-level promotion, and graduation.
Assisting students in reflecting on their academic goals and progress as learners. And creating a
permanent archive of academic work. Advocates of student portfolios argue that compiling,
reviewing, and evaluating student work over time can provide a deeper and more accurate view
of what students have learned and are capable of doing than more traditional activities that only
measure what students know at a specific point in time, such as standardized tests, quizzes, or
final exams.

4. How different is the use of students’ portfolio from the other methods in assessing
learning?
When compared to more traditional forms of testing, a student's knowledge may be
evaluated more comprehensively through the use of a portfolio. In contrast to other kinds
of assessment method, which evaluates what a student knows, a portfolio evaluation
gauges how well a student can apply and make use of the information that they have
acquired in their classes.
5. Is it possible to commit an error when assessing student portfolio? What are the possible
errors that can be committed by the teacher?
Yes, When it comes to grading portfolios, teachers make mistakes just like everyone
else. This is true whether the portfolios are for collecting evidence for competency-based
programs such as art. Portfolios can be very different from one student to the next, which
makes it hard to grade or mark them. So it can be hard to agree on how to grade them.
Still, it is possible to make assessment criteria that make marking more reliable. For
example, when presenting "evidence" in a portfolio, there may be criteria like the type,
quality, and quantity of evidence needed for each part of the portfolio.
