Portfolio Assessment in the Preschool Classroom

Inkrott, Rhonda S.

Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
Parents of five preschoolers enrolled in a small public school in Northwest Ohio participated in the study. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of portfolio assessment with preschool students increased parental satisfaction with parent-teacher conferences. The research questions were: What was portfolio assessment and how did it pertain to the preschool child? What were the components of traditional parent-teacher conferences? What were parental expectations for information regarding satisfactory parent-teacher conferences? Did the implementation of portfolio assessment in the preschool classroom increase parental satisfaction with parent-teacher conferences? The researcher first surveyed parents to determine what they expected from parent-teacher conferences and their level of satisfaction. The researcher then implemented portfolio assessment during parent-teacher conferences. After conferences, the researcher interviewed parents to determine if parental satisfaction had increased through the use of portfolio assessment. Parental satisfaction with parent-teacher conferences increased from forty percent to eighty percent.
