What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio is a “ flat case for carrying papers and drawings”
(Merriam- Webster Dictionary, 2015)’ Indeed, Portfolios are used
by painters, architects, and other artists to showcase samples of
their best work. Portfolios in education, on the other hand, contain
samples or evidences of what students have learned in a particular
subject area at a given time.

“ A portfolio is a purposeful, integrated collection of student
work showing effort, progress, or achievement in one or more
areas” (Belgrad, Burke, and Fogarty, 2008, 2). It is also a “record of
learning that focuses on students’ work and their reflections on
the work” (Benson and Barnett, 1999, 14). Indeed, it is another
way assessing student learning without the use of standardized tests
and evaluation.
QUARTER 3 – Module 1
LESSON 1: My HUMSS Portfolio
In general, there are four types of portfolios used in education
(Johnson, Mims-Cox, and Doyle-Nicholas, 2010, 38).
______________________________________________
Name of Student
a. Showcase Portfolio - Similar to the original meaning of
“portfolio,” a showcase portfolio is a collection of a student’s
best work in a given discipline or subject area. The student
is the one who selects which work he/she considers best and
why.

Strand/Year & Section
b. Growth Portfolio - A growth portfolio demonstrate how a
student developed particular skill or knowledge over time. It
provides evidence of a student’s progress in a learning area.
Unlike a showcase portfolio, you not only see a student’s
best work, but also see the students journey toward
achieving excellence in the given skill.
c. Project Portfolio - A project portfolio emphasizes how a
student completed discipline-based procedures or processes.
The projects documented usually represent tasks or skills that
professionals in the field usually do in real life.
