Documentation
The goal of working portfolio is to

highlight development and improvement.
Documentation portfolios showcase `the
process of learning by including the full
progression of project development. Often,
documentation portfolios will contain a
variety of artifacts from brainstormed list
to rough outline to finished products.
Process
The purpose of process portfolios is to
document all stages of the learning process.
Process portfolios expand on the information
in a documentation portfolio by combining
reflections and higher –order cognitive
activities. In addition to showcasing the
student’s work, process portfolios emphasize
meta cognitive functioning and encourage
students to become active participants in
understanding their own learning.
Product
The goal of product portfolios ( also
showcase portfolios) is to highlight a
student’s best work by showcasing the
quality and collection of students
accomplishment. Since the focus is on the
final product, there is no reflection on the
learning process, But student’s may want
a justification, explaining criteria for
artifact selection.
Stages of Portfolio
Development
PLANNING
Originally, instructors need to
determine the function, type and
design of the portfolio. During the
planning stage , instructors
communicate to the students the
purpose of the portfolio and the
assessment criteria.
COLLECTION

assembling meaningful artifacts that
reflect their own educational progress .
While it is not possible for students to
collect documents, all their course work,
collection can be facilitating by
remembering the purpose of the
portfolio, student’s personal goals,
content of the course, and evaluation
criteria.
SELECTION

making process in which collected
artifacts are arranged and selected for
addition in the portfolio. The purpose of
the assessment and the kind of
portfolio being developed guide
selection decisions . While students are
typically responsible for selecting their
own work.
REFLECTION
This is considered as the most

important step in portfolio
development. During their reflection
process, students justify their selection,
highlight important learning gains,
explain relevant skills and knowledge,
and identify areas for improvement. To
be most effective, students should be
responsible for their own reflections.
CONNECTION
In the connection stage, students expand

on their reflections to connect acquired
knowledge and skills with lessons goal and
learning objectives. The purpose of the
connection stage is to add an
understanding of the value of learning
within the broader curriculum and the real
world. A key aspect of portfolio evaluation
is the presentation of portfolios to outside
reviewers.
