Portfolio
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-28
CORE DEFINITION
A portfolio is a container for collecting evidence of learning. Its contents include works, reflections, and self-assessments. It is process-oriented, recording the trajectory of learning over time. Its scaffolding value is a visible record of growth: by collecting and reflecting on evidence of learning, it makes the process of growth visible and supports self-assessment.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Make growth visible: collect works, reflections, and self-assessments so progress can actually be seen. - Support self-assessment: reviewing the collected evidence lets learners judge their own development.
Anchor fast decisions
Systematically collect works, reflections, and self-assessments to present the learning development process rather than single-point achievements. Process-based evidence supports self-assessment and formative evaluation by others, making growth visible.
