Alternative Assessment (Portfolio) Nina Bitskinashvili 2014

Alternative assessment Alternative assessments directly measure student performance through “real-life” tasks that ask students to produce rather than reproduce knowledge and develop rather than identify responses.

Alternative assessments Short-answer questions, Essays, Performance assessment, Oral presentations, demonstrations, Exhibition, Portfolios

Portfolios are purposeful collections of student work that are reviewed against preset criteria. On-paper and e-portfolios Show-case and teacher-student portfolios

What is a portfolio? A student portfolio is a systematic collection of student work and related material that depicts a student's activities, accomplishments, and achievements in one or more school subjects. The collection should include evidence of student reflection and self-evaluation, guidelines for selecting the portfolio contents, and criteria for judging the quality of the work. (Venn, 2000, pp. 530-531)

What do portfolios contain? What benefits can they bring? How can they be managed?

Two Types of Portfolios: A process portfolio documents the stages of learning and provides a progressive record of student growth. A product portfolio demonstrates mastery of a learning task or a set of learning objectives and contains only the best work...

Steps in the Portfolio Assessment Process First, the teacher and the student need to clearly identify the portfolio contents, which are samples of student work, reflections, teacher observations, and conference records. Second, the teacher should develop evaluation procedures for keeping track of the portfolio contents and for grading the portfolio... Third, the teacher needs a plan for holding portfolio conferences, which are formal and informal meetings in which students review their work and discuss their progress. Because they encourage reflective teaching and learning, these conference are an essential part of the portfolio assessment process (Venn, 2000, p. 540).

Disadvantages of Portfolio Assessment Requiring extra time to plan an assessment system and conduct the assessment. Gathering all of the necessary data and work samples can make portfolios bulky and difficult to manage. Developing a systematic and deliberate management system is difficult, but this step is necessary in order to make portfolios more than a random collection of student work. Scoring portfolios involves the extensive use of subjective evaluation procedures such as rating scales and professional judgment, and this limits reliability.

Advantages of Portfolio Assessment Promoting student self-evaluation, reflection, and critical thinking. Measuring performance based on genuine samples of student work. Enabling teachers and students to share the responsibility for setting learning goals and for evaluating progress toward meeting those goals. Giving students the opportunity to have extensive input into the learning process. Providing a process for structuring learning in stages.
