Development of Portfolio Assessment to Measure the Student’s Skill of Using Primary Source Evidence

The study aims to develop a portfolio assessment to measure the student’s skill of using primary source evidence in historical learning. The portfolio assessment was developed based on Seixas’ concept of historical thinking. The portfolio assessment consists of essay test and interview guide, which has proved to be valid and reliable. The developed portfolio assessment can be used to depict the student’s skills to organize information from historical documents or other written resources, and then reconstruct it as historical narratives. The developed portfolio assessment can be posited as an alternative evaluation mode for history teachers.
