Portfolio Assessment as a Remediation Scheme

This is a case study research which described the performance of the three selected basic education students enrolled in a Special Reading class where the mode of assessing students’ learning used was portfolio assessment. The portfolio assessment designed to the selected students underscored collaboration between and among the students, peers, teacher and parents. Findings show that portfolio assessment helped improve the selected key informants’ Reading performance. The development of positive attitudes such as willingness to learn, sharing of ideas, cooperation and self-confidence among the selected students served as avenues for their growth and development. Their desire to learn more was highly observed among them and was documented in their interview transcripts. Further, self-reflection provided a bright horizon in the development of the selected key informants’ complex skills.
