| dc.description.abstract | The current research was conducted to measure the impacts of the Portfolio Assessment
on Higher National Diploma in Engineering Program (HNDE) learners using it as a
continuous assessment method for the module Language Structure Usage and Linguistics.
The sample group included 120 HNDE students from the 1st year batch. This research
involved the planning and implementation of the portfolio assessment and collecting
feedback from the participants. The data collected indicated that the HNDE followers
are assessed through different assessment methods. As far as the experiences of the
participants are concerned, this is a great assessment method since it helps them in many
ways: memorization, exam preparation, displaying creativity, developing organizational
skills, and expanding their knowledge. As the evaluating experience revealed, the lecturer
found it time-consuming and hard work to mark over 100 individual portfolios. According
to the conclusions, the portfolio assessment is really beneficial for learners since it engages
them in a continuous learning process. Moreover, they are led to self-error-correction,
discovering new knowledge, and independent learning. In conclusion, it was found
that Portfolio Assessment is beneficial for both the learner and the lecturer in assessing
language structure competency. However, this should be implemented with some other
methods for large classes since it is time-consuming both to compile the book and to
evaluate it. | en_US |
