Portfolio Assessment: As Educational Weapon

Portfolio Assessment: As Educational Weapon

First and foremost, I created this image on canva that will show the benefits of portfolio assessment to students. In the portfolio assessment students are asked to reflect on their work, to engage in self-assessment and goal setting. 

I think portfolio assessment is very authentic because it do highlights and showcases the sample of students best work, along with life experiences, values, and achievements. The portfolio also collects the accomplishment, skills, experiences, and attributes of each students. Based on the article that I read portfolio does not take the place of a resume or a curriculum vitae, but it can accentuate your abilities and what you can offer on your chosen field. 

One of the primary purposes of portfolio assessment is to document student learning on specific curriculum outcomes. It do measure how students are being able to excel in different field or area of study. The items in the portfolio must be designed to elicit the knowledge and skills specified in the outcomes. 

On all the article that I have read, they all want to emphasize that this portfolio assessment really help the students to assess themselves on their own and it also helps the teachers to identify curriculum gaps, a lack of alignment with outcomes. So, both teachers and students do benefited with this portfolio assessment.
