Abstract

The evaluation is the judgment of quality and it is a systematic way of looking at important issues. It provides information for decision-making. In education, assessment is often associated to testing and it is narrowed by being limited to student achievement. Furthermore, it is a constructive tool for improvement and innovation. This research aims to reveal the attitudes of teachers and parents regarding the application of the portfolio as an evaluation method and of its functionality are positive. In order to give a real overview of the involved situation, we selected a random sample of 50 teachers and 50 parents from the municipality of Gostivar. The research is based on data collected from questionnaires filled in by parents and teachers. Relevant data were processed with statistical tools, namely with Pearson's correlation. The results give us evidence that even though the two variables attitudes of teachers and parents have a normal distribution, from the above correlation coefficients we conclude that these two variables have no potential relationship. It means that teachers have more positive attitudes (according to Kurtosis -. 269 which shows fewer negative cases), despite the attitude of parents (according to kurtis -.635 which shows more cases with negative points), who have more neutral and negative attitudes towards the application of the portfolio to the educational process. This research forms a potential basis for examining the attitude of teachers and parents towards the portfolio as an assessing method to evaluate student’s achievement.
