Question: What comes into your mind when you hear the word “Portfolio”?

Portfolio

FIRM – UP

This time, read and understand the discussion about a portfolio. Take
note of some important points about it.

What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio is a “flat case for carrying papers and drawings” (Merriam- Webster Dictionary,
2015)’ Indeed, Portfolios are used by painters, architects, and other artists to showcase samples of their
best work. Portfolios in education, on the other hand, contain samples or evidences of what students
have learned in a particular subject area at a given time.
“A portfolio is a purposeful, integrated collection of student work showing effort, progress, or achievement in one or
more areas” (Belgrad, Burke, and Fogarty, 2008, 2). It is also a “record of learning that focuses on students’ work and their
reflections on the work” (Benson and Barnett, 1999, 14). Indeed, it is another way assessing student learning without the use of
standardized tests and evaluation.
In general, there are four types of portfolios used in education (Johnson, Mims-Cox, and Doyle-Nicholas, 2010, 38).
 Showcase Portfolio - Similar to the original meaning of “portfolio,” a showcase portfolio is a collection of a student’s
best work in a given discipline or subject area. The student is the one who selects which work he/she considers best and
why.

 Growth Portfolio - A growth portfolio demonstrates how a student developed particular skill or knowledge over time.
It provides evidence of a student’s progress in a learning area. Unlike a showcase portfolio, you not only see a student’s
best work, but also see the student’s journey toward achieving excellence in the given skill.

 Project Portfolio - A project portfolio emphasizes how a student completed discipline-based procedures or processes.
The projects documented usually represent tasks or skills that professionals in the field usually do in real life.

 Academic Portfolio or Standards-Based Portfolio - An academic portfolio is a collection of student work that
represents achievement of the content and performance standards for a given course.
According to Johnson, Mims-Cox, and Doyle-Nicholas (2010), the development of portfolios in education normally
goes through six phrases, namely: (https://brainly.ph/question/14146274)

1. Projection - the stage where students define the goal or purpose of the portfolio.

2. Collection - the student collects and retrieves as many evidences or outputs from the course.

3. Selection - the student evaluates all of the artifacts gathered using criteria appropriate for the purpose of
the portfolio. In this case, the criteria would focus on excellent artifacts that are aligned with the standards of the
course.
 4. Reflection - the student makes personal and academic insights based on the artifacts gathered. This
includes reflections for each artifact and reflections for the whole portfolio.

5. Self-assessment - a student enhances the portfolio in the areas he/she rated low.

6. Connection and presentation - students share their portfolio with classmates, teachers, and even parents. They are
also given the opportunity to provide feedback on the portfolio.
For the HUMSS Individual Learning Portfolio, we shall be combining the elements of the showcase portfolio and the
standards-based portfolio. This means that your portfolio must contain your best work or most significant experience in each of
the subjects you have taken under the HUMSS Track.
The following are the Portfolio guidelines:
MY HUMSS PORTFOLIO
You may use any printed format for this portfolio as long as it contains all required components. It must also comply with the
criteria as reflected in the rubric provided.
PURPOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
To showcase the student’s best work (within or outside class) that reflects achievement of learning goals in each of the
specialized subjects under the HUMSS Strand.
PARTS OF THE PORTFOLIO
(Hopkinton High School,1999,194)

Portfolio Development Phases

According to Johnson, Mims-Cox, and Doyle-Nicholas (2010), the development of portfolios in education normally
goes through six phrases, namely:
1. Projection - This is the stage where students define the goal or purpose of the portfolio. In this case, the purpose of the
portfolio is to showcase their best work and connect them to the course standards. At this stage, the students also
identify subtasks necessary in developing the portfolio. They would also estimate the time and resources available the
project.
2. Collection - The student collects and retrieves as many evidences or outputs from the course.
3. Selection - the student evaluates all of the artifacts gathered using criteria appropriate for the purpose of the portfolio.
In this case, the criteria would focus on excellent artifacts that are aligned with the standards of the course.
4. Reflection - The student makes personal and academic insights based on the artifacts gathered. This includes reflections
for each artifact and reflections for the whole portfolio.
5. Self-Assessment – Using the rubric or criteria provided by the teacher, the student evaluates the completed portfolio. A
student enhances the portfolio in the areas he/she rated low.
6. Connection and Presentation - Students share their portfolio with classmates, teachers, and even parents. They are also
given the opportunity to provide feedback on the portfolio.
In terms of management of portfolio ideas, Johnson, Mims-Cox, and Doyle-Nichols (2010)
provided some tips which you may follow:

1. Set up a time line with due dates for installments in the portfolio.
a. Practice writing reflective statements for each potential portfolio
entry
b. Make sample reflection sheets for dry runs

2. Review samples of completed portfolios with importance of appearance

and scoring.

3. To ensure clarity of expectations, review the rubrics or scoring guides on advance.

4. Make the portfolio process convenient.

a. Use materials that are readily available
b. Store folders alphabetically in milk crates or cardboard boxes, or file
cabinets
c. Use binders
d. Color-code to distinguish among classes
