HUMSS PORTFOLIO

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.
What is a Portfolio?
“ 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
4 types of Portfolio

1. SHOWCASE PORTFOLIO
2. GROWTH PORTFOLIO
3. PROJECT PORTFOLIO
4. ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO OR
STANDARDS-BASED PORTFOLIO
1. 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
2. Growth Portfolio - A growth portfolio
demonstrate 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 students journey
toward achieving excellence in the given ski
3. 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.
4. 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
For the HUMSS 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
 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.
