NASCIMENTO, Lucilene Aparecida e Lima do  y  ROCAS, Giselle. Portfolio: an integrated assessment option for science education. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.63, pp.742-767. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.3209.

This study aims to present the portfolio as a viable tool to integrate learning and assessment in science education. The study was developed within two public state schools in Rio de Janeiro, where students prepared their assessment portfolios from various educational activities. Given the methodological bias of action research and a qualitative approach to the data analysis, it was concluded that, although the mark of traditional assessment was still found in the students' discourses, there is no denying that they are permeated by the concept of assessment as an integral part of teaching and learning. The use of the portfolio as an assessment tool is still considered an educational novelty, but can and should be employed as an assessment tool in science education, as its implementation proved to be both possible and successful.

Palabras clave : Learning Assessment; Science Education; Portfolio; Evaluation Tools.
