What do Portfolio Assessments involve?

Standardized test scores only
Ongoing collection of a student's daily work and projects
Only the student's final examinations
Feedback from peers about the student's work

The correct answer is: Ongoing collection of a student's daily work and projects

Portfolio assessments involve the ongoing collection of a student's daily work and projects, which allows educators to gain a comprehensive understanding of a student's progress and abilities over time. This method emphasizes formative assessment, where the focus is on the student’s learning process rather than solely on the final product or standardized test performance. By compiling various pieces of work—including assignments, projects, and reflections—portfolios provide a holistic view of a student's development, strengths, and areas for improvement. This approach also supports individual learning paths as it can reflect diverse skills and competencies in multiple contexts, rather than relying on a single point of measurement like standardized tests or final examinations. Additionally, portfolio assessments often encourage students to take ownership of their learning by selecting works that they feel best represent their capabilities and growth.
