The effectiveness of using portfolio assessment in lecture by controlling mathematical logical intelligence

Abstract

The purpose of this research aims to examine the effectiveness of using portfolio assessment in the integral calculus lecture after logical mathematical intelligence is controlled. The population of this research are all students in the department of mathematics education who program integral calculus courses on the 2015/2016 academic year. Samples in this research are 88 students, who were selected randomly. The data were analyzed by one-way covariance analysis. The result of this research showed that student’s learning outcomes of Integral Calculus who were taught Integral Calculus with portfolio assessment, was higher than those of the students who were tought with essay assessment. The findings of this study show that using portfolio assessment is effective to improve student’s learning outcomes of Integral Calculus.
