What is portfolio assessment?

Portfolio assessment is an alternative method of evaluating a student's progress and achievement using a collection of their work samples gathered over a specific period. It involves the compilation of diverse artifacts, such as tests, essays, projects, and other assignments, which demonstrate the student's skills, knowledge, and growth. With portfolio assessment, educators can accurately assess the student's overall performance, strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, providing a more comprehensive picture of their abilities than traditional tests and exams. Moreover, portfolio assessment encourages students' ownership and responsibility for their learning by allowing them to reflect on their progress and set goals for future improvement.
