Essential Elements of Portfolio
Every portfolio must contain the
following essential elements:

1. Cover letter “About the author”

and “What my portfolio shows about
my progress as a learner” (written
at the end, but put at the beginning).

2. Table of Contents with numbered

pages
3. Entries – both core (items
students have to include) and
optional (items of student’s
choice).
The core elements be required for
each student and will provide a common
base from which to make decisions on
assessment. The optional items will allow
the folder to represent the uniqueness of
each student
4. Dates on all entries, to facilitate
proof of growth over time.
5. Drafts of aural/oral and written
products and revised versions.
6. Reflection can appear at different
stages in the learning process (for
formative and/or summative
purposes) and at the lower levels
can be written in the mother tongue
or by students who find it difficult to
express themselves in English.
 Types of Portfolios
Documentation Portfolio
• As the name implies, this approach
involves a collection of work over time
showing growth and improvement
reflecting students' learning of
identified outcomes. This portfolio is
also called “growth portfolio” in the
literature. It can include everything
from brainstorming activities to drafts
to finished products.
 Types of Portfolios
Process Portfolio
• It demonstrates all facets or phrases
of the learning process. As such,
these portfolios contain an extensive
number of reflective journal, think
logs and other related forms of
metacognitive processing
 Types of Portfolios
Showcase Portfolio
• It only shows the best of the
students’ outputs and products.
As such, this type of portfolio is
best used for summative
evaluation of students’ mastery
of key curriculum outcomes.
 Contents of Portfolio
1.Best work of students Example: The students won 1st
prize in the local, regional and national invertigatory projects.
2. Individual student’s work Example: The student is the
President in the class and the Supreme Student Council.
3. Group work activities Example: The group work
activity is Income Generating Project on Seaweed Muffins as a
requirement fro thier interprenueral project.
Three types
There are three types of portfolio in education:
• A showcase portfolio contains products that demonstrate
how capable the owner is at any given moment.
• An assessment portfolio contains products that can be used
to assess the owner’s competences.
• A development portfolio shows how the owner (has)
developed and therefore demonstrates growth. This type of
portfolio will often also contain products from various stages
of the process, stages in which feedback has been
received, and possibly also products from work still in
progress.At Radboud University, both students and
lecturers can benefit from assembling a portfolio.
