Self & Portfolio Assessments as a Learning Evaluation System in Virtual Learning: A Case of Riau Province – Indonesia

One of the major issues of designing self & portfolio assessments as a learning evaluation system is to help teachers assessing students’ works in virtual learning. So, through the application of this type of assessment system, it is expected that three parties: teachers, students, and parents will get involved proportionately in determining the aspects to be evaluated by each of them. In this descriptive quantitative study, this paper aimed at describing the application of self & portfolio assessments as a learning evaluation system in virtual learning within the elementary, lower and higher secondary school teachers in Riau Province-Indonesia. Findings show that out of 25 principles that the learning evaluation system has, the principle of ‘simple’ is at the lowest level (0.400 > 0.2242) while the principles of ‘accountable, objective, critical, innovative, creative, quality, apprreciation, students’ participation, and teachers’ participation are at the highest level of validity (0.888 > 0.2242); however, all of the principles are at the highest level of reliability (0.938). In terms of hypothesis testing, there is no positive and significant differences on the aspects of education units (0.335 > 0.05); regency (0.558 > 0.05); gender (0.928 > 0.05); and on the aspect of teaching experience (0.471 > 0.05). In conclusion, the teachers within Riau Province-Indonesia have shown their higher consent and approval on the application of the principles of self & portfolio assessments as a learning evaluation system in virtual learning in terms of validity and reliability as well as the aspects to be evaluated by teachers (80%), to be evaluated by students (10%) and to be evaluated by parents (10%).
