Konkova Larisa Ivanovna,
The main goal of education is the development of intellectual and creative abilities of pupils, so that the pupil of the school could be able to self-realize, think independently and make important decisions for himself. Students even take responsibility for the success of their education, so the attitude to the portfolio is changing. This is not just a folder with victories and participation in competitions – these are documents that confirm the development of the student, his victory over his failures and personal growth. As a rule, these are not the best and successfully written tests, but assignments that were given with difficulty, that show the progress. The student must show why he put this picture, test or photo in the portfolio: Why did he choose this work? What difficulties did he encounter and what did he achieve as a result? Answers to these questions help pupils to assess their achievements and to understand what they should pay special attention to.
The role of an adult in this educational process is extremely important: he/she must be nearby, but a few steps ahead; he/she has to learn to recommend and motivate, maintain and teach gently, learn him/herself and explore a lot. The whole school community is united.
