Why an
ePortfolio?
The idea of using a portfolio is to showcase the information
that you have learnt during your studies in ESH340 - Advanced Health and
Physical Education. It is - as Wolf (as cited in Brady, 2001, p. 26) - a
"depository of artefacts' that 'require a written reflection by the
developer on the significance or contribution of those artefacts".
E-portfolios are:
- authentic
tasks which enable each assignment to be different
- personalised
to your learning experience
- "Allows
for metacognition through periodic reflections" (Miller, 2009, p. 8)
- "Help
students plan their own academic pathways as they come to understand what
they know and are able to do and what they still need to learn (Miller,
2009, p. 9)
- Gives
ownership to the student to showcase their learning.
The reflection part of this assignment is there to show what you
have learnt, how it links to the classroom (i.e. links to curriculum is
important) and also what this means for your future teaching (i.e. the goals
that you have for your future or future improvement areas)
This Assessment Task has the following purposes, to:
- Illustrate
the development and construction of a portfolio (It is a common teaching,
assessment and teaching tool within schools.)
- Display
individual understanding of the concepts covered within the unit with
links to curriculum and classroom and to future teaching practices
- Stimulate
and strengthen teacher reflection and practice
- Outline
strengths and weaknesses and areas of professional growth
- Allows
the student to choose their own pieces of evidence of learning and
therefore to show what they have learnt or will learn as they develop as
teachers
