bedömningsportföljer

Bedömningsportföljer, often translated as assessment portfolios or e-portfolios, are systematic collections of student work that are used to evaluate learning. They are designed to showcase a student's progress, achievements, and reflections over a period of time. Unlike traditional tests, portfolios provide a more holistic view of a student's capabilities, encompassing a range of evidence such as essays, projects, creative works, and self-assessments.

The primary purpose of a bedömningsportfölj is to facilitate authentic assessment. This means that the tasks and evidence included in the portfolio are relevant to real-world applications and demonstrate deeper understanding rather than rote memorization. Students are typically involved in the selection of their work and often write reflective pieces explaining their choices and what they have learned. This process encourages metacognition, helping students to become more aware of their own learning processes.

Bedömningsportföljer can be used in various educational settings, from primary schools to higher education and professional development. They are valuable tools for both formative assessment, providing ongoing feedback to guide learning, and summative assessment, contributing to final grades or evaluations. The digital format, or e-portfolio, has become increasingly popular, allowing for easy storage, sharing, and multimedia integration.
