Abstract


Assessment is one of the important stages in the learning process in order to determine the extent to which learning objectives have been achieved. A portfolio assessment is a continuous assessment based on a collection of information that shows the development of student abilities in a certain period. The purpose of this study was to conduct a portfolio assessment on individual student assignments in the Research Methodology course in the odd semester of the 2022/2023 academic year in the form of a research proposal which includes the preparation of background, problem formulation and research objectives, benefits, and research methods. The method used is descriptive research using a total sample of 69 students who contract research methodology courses. The results showed that the research background preparation score of 69 was in the good category, the formulation and research objectives were in the good category with an average score of 66, and the benefits of research and research methods were in the good category with scores of 71 and 67 respectively. The conclusion of this study shows that portfolio-based assessment on the task of preparing research proposals is in the good category with an average score of 68.
