Tehtäväportfolio

Tehtäväportfolio, often translated as task portfolio or assignment portfolio, is a collection of student work that demonstrates their learning and development over a period of time. It is a form of assessment that moves beyond a single test or assignment to provide a more holistic view of a student's progress and understanding.

The purpose of a tehtäväportfolio is to showcase a student's growth, effort, and achievements in relation to specific learning objectives or skills. It typically includes a selection of assignments, projects, reflections, and other evidence of learning that the student has curated. The selection process itself is often a valuable learning experience, requiring students to critically evaluate their own work and identify areas of strength and improvement.

Tehtäväportfolios can be used in various educational settings, from primary school to higher education and even in professional development contexts. They can be used for formative assessment, providing feedback to students as they work, or for summative assessment, contributing to a final grade. The content of a portfolio can vary widely depending on the subject matter and the learning goals, but common inclusions are essays, problem sets, creative works, research papers, and self-reflections. The reflective component is particularly important, as it encourages students to articulate their learning process and metacognitive strategies.
