Lesson 5

Portfolio Assessment
• Portfolio Assessment
It is a purposeful, ongoing dynamic and collaborative
process of gathering multiple indicators of the students growth
and development in a course or program of study. Portfolio
assessment is also performance based approach to assessing
learning but more authentic than any one-time performance
task as it allows examination of multiple evidence of the
process and product of learning developed across time.
How do we do portfolio assessment
One should be guided by:

1.Content principle suggests that portfolio should reflect the

subject matter that is important for the students to learn.
2.Learning principle suggests that portfolios should enable the
students to become active and thoughtful learners.
3.Equity principle explains that portfolios should allow
students to demonstrate their learning styles and multiple
intelligences.
Portfolios should come in three types:

1. The working portfolio is a collection of a students day to day

works that reflect his or her learning.
2. The show portfolio is a collection of a students best works.
3. The documentary portfolio is a combination of a working and a
show portfolio.
