Within the last five years, student portfolios have begun to go electronic. To talk about this shift in portfolios, we need to consider many questions. What do we mean by the expression electronic portfolio? Is it simply a digitized version of the more familiar print portfolio? Or is it something completely different? Why are students, school, and institutions interested in electronic portfolios? To answer these questions, a quick explanation of print portfolios - their contents, processes, and types - provides a useful context for understanding how print and electronic portfolios compare and what electronic portfolios offer. After a review of six critical problems surrounding electronic portfolios, the researcher investigated foreign …show more content…
In yet another class, an undergraduate class on research methods in psychology, students open their portfolio with a reflective synthesis of enclosed materials as well as a statement of the materials' relevance to their development of an independent research project. Other exhibits contain a statement of progress on the independent project, a write-up of one experiment, a peer review of that write-up, and other materials (homework assignments and summaries of class readings, for example) chosen by the student. As these examples suggest, classroom portfolios can vary considerably, especially when we think about them along four parameters or dimensions: (1) Type and level of class (in general education or in the major, for example). (2) Purpose of the portfolio. (3) Audience for the portfolio. (4) Criteria for assessment. Regardless of the diversity of portfolio models, however, they all make the same request that students assume responsibility for documenting and interpreting their own learning. This responsibility extends through col-lection, selection, and reflection. Students archive all their work - homework, class projects, journals, lab reports, spreadsheets, notes for presentations, drafts of assignments, peer review notes, and so on. At a designated time - sometimes at midterm, often at the end of a term - students select from this
With the availability of numerous website builders and online portfolio tools, many of which are free of charge, creating an online portfolio is both quick and easy. However, through the course of my research for this assignment
A portfolio is an organized, purposeful compilation of evidence documenting a child’s development and learning over time (McAfee, Leong, & Bodrova, 2016, p. 98). I thin k that implementing the Portfolio Plan would definitely contribute to the knowledge that I have already learned from my observation of Camden. After interviewing her mother and observing her, she seems to already be on a good path in her development and learning. I believe that some of the things that I have planned out on the Portfolio Plan would be very beneficial for her.
I completed portfolio #6 by determining and using effective approaches as well as rhetorical strategies when reading and writing. For example, I use rhetorical strategies when I had to read the e-text book. When I read, the class contract I had to determine what I had to do to pass the class. Lastly I had to use effective approaches when writing notes and when I used them to complete an essay.
Make sure that you spend 1 or 2 blocks for students to choose work to be included in the portfolio. Take a picture of the pieces of work and place them according to your subject.
The use of rhetorical elements in the e-portfolios makes it a visual argument. One of the elements used is ethos. Ethos is credibility, which also involves persuasion. Ethos is used to define the student’s information credibility. Many of the e-portfolios contain the courses that that the student has taken, where it took place and when they took the course. Also a lot of the e-portfolios have the students resume. A resume is a brief written account of personal, educational, and
For this assignment, I will be explaining how my portfolio, meets my target audience and purpose.
Each student will have the same material from the week in their binder. It is imperative to communicate to each student that this is their way to show their progress throughout the year. Next, explain that this portfolio will be checked at any time without notice (minim once a month). There will also be three scheduled checks. Checking the binder will encourage the students to maintain and evaluate them. The portfolio will then be graded for organization and neatness. This will give the student the responsibility of making sure that their portfolio is in order to receive a good grade.
When I starting working on this portfolio I knew it would show the growth and development of the child over the last few weeks. It would show how far they have come and how much they have learned while in my care. There is nothing more rewarding to see and witness development in a child while in your care. This shows you are teaching the child like you are supposed to and they are learning what you are teaching them on a daily
According to the CAPM model:R_i=α+βR_m+ε, α represent the abnormal return gained by the portfolio. If the market is efficiency, the α has to be zero.
By working on this portfolio I have learned new resources that are useful to me now and in the future. For example, many reliable websites for scholarships, job offerings, and
For healthcare professionals it is important to have a portfolio and it is very important to keep it updated. Portfolios can be used for annual appraisals with an employer or can be used in preparation for a new job (Jasper, Elliot, & Koubel, 2011). Portfolios can be used as evidence of continuing professional development as it can hold important documents like certificates of completions for activities an individual has attended, show evidence of self directed learning, show evidence of the professionals continuing professional development documentation history, learning outcomes, personal development plans and superiors or prospective employers are able to see if the individual is up to date with all requirements (Jasper, Elliot, & Koubel,
in classroom types and styles between these groups. I will also highlight and define the
In addition to the in-class writing above, I have also chose two other major essays to conclude with my final portfolio. For the first essay, I chose Essay 2, the group field research paper. All students were placed in groups of five of who you sat with and from there, that group would be your permanent group for the rest of the semester. Within these permanent groups, we did multiple editing for each other’s papers as well as give advice and various ideas help to each individual out when we needed
A project portfolio is a group of projects that share and compete for the same resources and are carried out under the sponsorship or management of an organization (Archer & Ghasemzadeh, 1999a, 1999b). Turner and Müller (2003, p. 7) defined a portfolio as “an organization (temporary or permanent) where projects are managed together to coordinate interfaces, prioritize resources between projects, and thereby
Stealth assessments and portfolios are way that administrators can successfully measure a student’s intelligence and yearly progress. Stealth assessments are regular math and reading data but is collected differently. These stealth assessments, created from companies such as Scholastic, can eliminate the time, cost, and anxiety in students (Kamentez). Stealth assessments, allows teachers to see student progress over the course of a year. This way of evaluation is more effective than standardized test because, students are not under extreme stress and it measures student activity from the beginning of the school year to the end. Portfolios can also be used as an alternative to standardized tests. A portfolio is a collection of work done by a
