In portfolio assessment, what might be included as a method of evaluation?

  1. Only teacher feedback

  2. Individual scoring or holistic assessments

  3. Stress on attendance in classes

  4. Assessment based solely on final results

The correct answer is: Individual scoring or holistic assessments

In portfolio assessment, individual scoring and holistic assessments are both valuable methods of evaluation that provide a comprehensive view of a student's performance and growth over time. Individual scoring allows evaluators to focus on specific skills, criteria, or aspects of work within the portfolio. This focused approach can identify strengths and areas for improvement in distinct areas of learning. On the other hand, holistic assessments consider the student's overall performance and achievement, taking into account the integration of knowledge and skills demonstrated across various pieces of work within the portfolio. This method recognizes the context and the progression of learning, offering a more rounded view of the student's capabilities and growth. The combination of these approaches makes portfolio assessment a flexible and informative evaluation tool. It encourages a deeper understanding of the learning process, fostering reflection both from the student and the educator. The inclusion of diverse assessment methods in portfolio evaluation supports a richer and more meaningful evaluation of student learning.
