Workshop 3: professional writing How to make school skills assessment a fully integrated learning process involved in a formative assessment, in the first person? This communication will give three examples (two in primary schools, one in higher schools) with a few points of discussion in action on this relationship and the effects observed. The portfolio scheme will be presented as an option. It will be described as a preferably digital, finalised collection of original, negotiated work, socialised and validated successes, organised for a competency assessment. Briefly defined in theory and in terms of its purposes, it will then be defined in its applications. The discussion will start on the reversal of this approach towards an assessment referring to the competency approach geared towards competency education.
