DEVELOP
Check the ideas you have acquired about portfolio assessment from different
sources.
1. What would you assess students’ learning using their portfolios?
Portfolio assessments are used to measure a student's mastery, growth, and development
through time. It is founded on a methodical and intentional compilation of student work, such
as essays, illustrations, and presentations, that demonstrates the students' development or
showcases their greatest work.
2. What are the benefits of the students when you use their portfolios to assess
their learning? What about their teachers?
Benefits for students: It motivates them to take ownership of their education and accept
responsibility for it. Reflecting on their learning helps students better understand what they
have learned and what they have not. It demonstrates the abilities of the students in ways that
take into account both their different learning styles and numerous bits of intelligence.
Benefits for the Instructor: The teacher can test what actually happens in the classroom in a
genuine manner. It provides context for that proof and offers them strong evidence of
instruction from sources other than just student ratings. As a result of the selection and
arrangement of the resources for a portfolio evaluation, one may consider their teaching or
instructions and make modifications. It allows educators the freedom to track the development
or success of their students over time.
3. What are the challenges that portfolio assessment poses to students as a
method of assessing their learning? What about their teachers?
Students may face difficulties since portfolio assessments may just consist of a haphazard
collection of items that may not accurately represent students' progress and achievement in
the classroom. They encounter a variety of problems, including opposition, incompleteness,
and difficulties appraising the portfolio and the evidence.
Challenges for teachers: It could be perceived as being less reliable or fair than tests that are
more quantitative. At first, having to develop one's own distinctive criteria can be difficult or
weird. Teachers could spend a lot of time analyzing and organizing the content in portfolios. It
can be difficult to analyze or combine portfolio assessment data to show improvement.

4. How different is the use of students’ portfolio from the other methods in
assessing learning?
In contrast to assessments, portfolios offer opportunities for communication between students,
teachers, and parents. In order to involve students in the portfolio construction process,
teachers can ask them to reflect on their work before asking them to choose their finest work
for a portfolio. Teachers can also utilize portfolios to assist students understand and value the
learning process or to make the transition from paper and pencil assessments to more
thorough evaluations.

 Why?
It examines what actually takes place in the classroom. It
provides numerous measures of kids' development. It
provides the pupils ownership over their own education. It
gives pupils the chance to record their learning reflections.
It displays what the pupils are capable of in ways that take
into account both their unique learning preferences and
numerous intelligences. It gives educators a new role in the
evaluation process. It enables educators to evaluate the
success of their instruction. It gives teachers the freedom to
learn about the growth or accomplishment of the students
throughout time.
When?
For assessment purposes, portfolio
assessment can be used as a dynamic
repository of experience to assist and
facilitate reflective learning. It offers
proof and conclusions regarding
students' accomplishments at the end
of the course or program.

APPLY
Plan your own course portfolio. See the scoring instrument that is shown at
the back of this lesson and module. Try to answer the following questions as your
guide in developing your course portfolio.
1. What do I want to assess about you through your learning portfolios?
It assesses how students are growing during the learning process. It allows students to assess
their own performance, reveals their areas of strength and weakness, and inspires them to take
ownership of their own education.
2. What is the important evidence that you should produce to prove that you
have successfully performed the significant learning outcomes of the course?
The proof should show the student's actual achievement of the specified outcomes rather than
just providing grades. It shows what the students have learnt and how well they are able to
achieve the objectives of the program. Because the student portfolio serves as a record of their
achievements and may be a factor in important decisions, it is critical that the procedures used
to evaluate student work in the portfolio meet standards of validity and reliability.
3. How do you know that the evidence you will produce are worth keeping and
showing to school principals or educational institutions when you apply for a
teaching job?
If the evidence is trustworthy, real, current, and sufficient, it might be worthwhile to maintain.
Information that is pertinent to the criteria and outcomes being assessed. It will raise the kids'
academic achievement in addition to changing or enhancing teacher instructions based on the
needs of the students.
After seeing my portfolio plan for this course, please list or draw in the space
provided below are the parts of the portfolio plan that you intend to prepare for your
portfolio assessment. You can follow my sample plan or create your own. Don’t
forget to go back to the defined significant culminating performance task set at the
beginning of the lesson and the indicators of success in performing it

My Course Portfolio Plan

1. My Target Goals:

 Create a portfolio assessment to evaluate students' development and growth

throughout time.

 Create grading criteria that will direct student performance and ensure that
the course objective is met.
2. My Target Collections:

 Rubrics/ Criteria

 Portfolio Assessment
3. My Non-negotiable Collections:

 Projects / Presentations

 Journals

 Students’ assessment (test paper, questionnaires)

 Written assignment

4. My Plan for Organization:

 It is recommended to gather or save all portfolio entries in one folder. Creating a

table of contents for the portfolio entries and providing precise directions for
finding them. The student’s portfolio folder designs might use some more
ingenuity and creativity to make them more visually appealing.
5. My Style of Reflection:

 Each component of the student's submissions in the portfolio will be the subject
of a reflection essay. They will describe how the product was created, express
their feelings and ideas after completing the assignment or activity, and discuss
the lessons they learned.

7. My Plan for Portfolio Exhibit:

There will be a showcase of every student's portfolio. Parents and guardians are welcome
to the celebration and awarding of the finest learning portfolio at the school. The pupils
will be inspired by this tactic since they can see how pleased their teachers and parents
are. Students can perceive that their efforts are acknowledged, recognized, and given
importance.

TRANSFER
Now put the details needed in your plan for portfolio assessment for a subject area and
grade level that you thought you should be able to teach and handle when you are
already a teacher in a school. You may plan for portfolio assessment for one quarter, for
all quarters, or the whole school year. This is an individual portfolio plan you have to
make. In your plan, you should provide the following information:
1. Curriculum competencies in the subject area and grade level that are
appropriately assessed through portfolio assessment.
2. The nonnegotiable evidence in the portfolio that should be produced by
the students as a product of performance tasks done individually or in
groups as a guide to success in achieving the identified curriculum
 competencies.
3. The assessment rubric to allow to students’ tracking of their way to
success to those non-negotiable evidence of doing the defined
performance tasks.
4. The students’ self- selected entries as supporting evidence to their
journey to the successful achievement of their defined performance tasks.
5. The overall assessment rubric that could certify their success in meeting the
desired significant learning outcomes.
6. The process in analyzing and communicating the assessment results.

EVALUATE
A. Evaluate your own portfolio plan using the four-point scale rubric below. Then let your peer
evaluate this, too. Use a pencil in rating your work to mean this is not your final rating yet.
Discuss with your peer your areas of strengths and weaknesses based on yourself and peer
assessment guided by the rubric prepared by your course professor. If you are not yet at the
top based on your evaluation, then improve your plan to be successful in the end. Remember,
this is not yet your final rating. You can still improve your work. You may also evaluate the
rubric if there are problematic areas in it that should be fixed so you will know better how to be
successful in the end.

What do I like in this evidence?
Why should I keep this evidence?
My Portfolio Assessment Plan
Instead of just producing grades, evidence
shows that students have effectively
achieved the specified outcomes. It reveals
the lessons the students have learned and
their capacity to master the curriculum's
goals. The methods used to assess student
work in the portfolio must adhere to
standards of validity and reliability since
they serve as a record of students'
accomplishments and as a basis for critical
judgments.
Due to its dependability, validity, and
authenticity, this evidence may be valuable
to maintain. Information that is pertinent to
the standards and results being evaluated.
As well as modifying or improving teacher
instructions based on the needs of the
students, it will boost the students' academic
achievement.

REFLECT
1. Examine the portfolio assessment plan that you made. Are you happy with the result?
• I am pleased with the assessment plan I came up with because, regardless how
challenging it was, I gave it my all. To make it more pertinent and useful for the learners'
learning and achievement, I am aware that it needs modifications and growth, which I am open
to.
2. Why have you done this plan?
• to assess a student's abilities, growth, and improvement during the learning process. to
assess the student’s learning outcomes and final products as evidence.
3. How significant is this plan for your future role as a teacher?
• This approach will direct the development of a portfolio assessment that gauges
students' understanding of the curriculum's goals. This will make it easier for me to judge how
much the pupils have learned. I can use this technique to assist students to understand and
value the learning process or to move them from paper-and-pencil assessments to more
thorough evaluations.
4. Is this plan worth your time and effort? Why?
• I can say that this plan was worthwhile since it equipped me with the knowledge, I
needed to evaluate students' learning processes and outcomes by using portfolio evaluations.
It's interesting, challenging, and puts my ability to use critical thought to the test.
5. What do you intend to do with this plan if you have more time?
• To make adjustments or improvements while ensuring there is documentation showing
the students have already reached the desired result.

Summarize the result of your performance in doing the significant culminating task,
which is development of a plan for portfolio assessment.
