Abstract

In this article, as part of ‘analysing artefacts’, I describe how ‘children’s portfolios’ can be created and used for assessment. In the context of Early Childhood Education (ECE), a portfolio refers to a collection of documented evidence and materials that showcase a child’s growth, development and learning over a specific period. The primary purpose of it is assessment. It helps determine the child’s status and progress, inform instruction, and provide information for reporting and communication. Additionally, it helps in identifying children who might need special help. Portfolios also provide insights into children’s abilities, interests, and needs. The Teacher should analyse the portfolio of the child with regard to specific outcomes and mark the child’s progress against competencies. The organisation of a child’s portfolio should clearly indicate outcomes to be achieved. Each child should have a dedicated folder to store their relevant artefacts.
