3. My Analysis
1. Did I see samples of the 3 different types of portfolio?
No, most of the portfolio shown were documentation portfolio and process
portfolio.
2. What did I observe to be the most commonly used portfolio?
Among the three (3) portfolio, documentation portfolio was commonly used. It
is also known as working portfolio and is done by collecting the works of students. It
shows the growth and improvement of student’s learning.
3. As I examined 3 selected portfolios, did I see all the elements of s portfolio?
No, not all elements were present on the portfolio that I examined.
4. Is it necessary for a teacher to use varied types of portfolio? Why?
Yes, in order to cater the different works and products of the students. If the
teacher will only use one kind of portfolio, some work may not be suited for that kind
of portfolio. So, as a result, the product that the students had accomplished will not
be collected.
5. If one element or two elements of a portfolio are missing, will this have any impact
on the assessment process? Explain your answer.
Yes, even if one element of portfolio is missing, it will surely have an impact to
the assessment process. If the missing element is included in the criteria of portfolio
assessment, then the assessment result is different to those that have complete
elements of assessment.

4. My Reflections
Have portfolios made the learning assessment process inconvenient? Is the effort
exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate to the improvement of learning that results from
the use of portfolio?
No, not at all.
In my own opinion, if portfolios are included in the learning assessment process, it
would be convenient but it do need an extra time and effort in assessing it. But, it is also not
good to remove or not include portfolio in the process because portfolio is an integral part to
students’ learning. Portfolio is a collection of work and product of students. It is tangible
evidence of their learning. Therefore, it is very essential.
For me, effort exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate to the improvement of
learning that results from the use of portfolio. It happens if the teacher is very particular with
student’s learning and he/she make sure to assess the portfolio accurately.
On the other hand, some teachers do not seriously takeportfolio assessment. This made
the assessment to not commensurate to the improvement of learning. This thing must be
avoided in order to create educated and learned students for the future.
