An instructor uses portfolio assessment in an art class. Which key components…

Concept: A portfolio assessment evaluates learning through an organized body of work collected over time. A sound portfolio combines performance evidence with reflection and feedback, so it shows both the product and the learning process.

Application

Completed artworks provide direct evidence of performance. Reflective essays explain learner choices and growth, while peer feedback and critiques document response to evaluation. Standardized test scores measure performance in a uniform test setting, but they are not an intrinsic component of an artwork portfolio.

Contrast

• The combination (B) and (C) includes reflection and standardized scores but omits the artworks that the portfolio is meant to document.

• The combination (A), (B) and (D) brings together work samples, self-reflection and peer critique—the three portfolio components described by the assessment principle.

• The combination (A) and (C) includes work samples and standardized scores but omits reflection and peer critique.

• The combination (C) and (D) includes standardized scores and peer critique but omits learner artworks and self-reflection.

Cross-check

Removing standardized test scores leaves the three sources that directly document artistic products, learner thinking, and formative response.

Result

Therefore, the required set is (A), (B) and (D) only.
