Portfolios accomplish goals set by
teachers for learners such as developing critical thinking and
self-reflection skills; becoming aware of their own thinking;
managing and evaluating their own learning. Portfolios help teachers
to motivate students by helping them discover who they are as
learners, and help boost their self concept
Portfolios are a good way to
collect information about students in order to document what they
know and are able to do.
Portfolios enable teachers to use
all four purposes for assessment: keeping track, checking up, finding
out and summing up.
Children are often unaware of how
much they are changing. Parents and teachers who see children every
day may also fail to recognize how far students have come. Portfolios
allow all of them to see growth over time.
Portfolios keep the assessment
process as part of daily teaching.
Portfolios present assessment
information to parents in a different way because when and if we give
parents the opportunity to participate in portfolio assessment, they
become more aware of what to observe and how their child learns. |
