Introduction
Portfolio assessment is a detailed, unique,
and personalized evaluation of what
learners know and can do. A portfolio is a
collection of pieces of evidence of efforts,
learnings, development, growth, and
achievement. It emphasizes a learner’s
milestone on his/her development of
concepts and skills. It contains not only
outputs and works-in-progress but also
reflections on the learner’s strengths and
progress toward the learning goals.

 Essential Characteristics of Portfolio Assessment
2/2/20XX P R E S E N TAT I O N T I T L E 13
 1. Portfolio is an assessment that is done together by the learners and the teacher. The
teacher guides the learner from planning, execution, and the evaluation of contents of
learning portfolios, hence the interaction and discourse are important elements of the
process. They together formulate the objectives, which is based on the learning
standards. The teacher shall assist the learner in choosing the contents or items to be
included in the portfolio based on the objectives, but the learner has the final say on
the selection because the portfolio is supposed to be representing the unique and
personal preferences of the learner.

 2 . The portfolio should be an opportunity to exhibit the samples of work
or outputs which shows the growth, development, and achievement over
time. In this purpose, the learner shall reflect or do self- assessment of
his/her own work to identify the strength and weakness, so that the
weaknesses become improvement goals.

 3. The criteria for selecting and assessing the portfolio especially the
contents must be clear both to the teachers and students at the outset of the
process. The set of agreed criteria can be referred by the learner in each step
of the process to avoid inclusion of unessential components and to avoid
resorting to what is only available at the time. So that necessary planning in
each step of the process of portfolio development can be done especially by
the learner.
