Portfolios 2004
Portfolios • Are purposeful collections of student work that illustrate efforts, progress, and achievement. • Focus on growth and development over time. • Provide a richer picture of student performance than can be gained through more traditional, objective measures. Barrett, H. (2001, August). Electronic portfolio development strategies. PT3 Annual Meeting, Washington, D.C. 2004
Purdue Portfolios • Purposeful, chronological collections of selected student work that exhibit to the student and others the student’s progress, achievement and effort over time. • Grounded in the written standards as developed by the Indiana Professional Standards Board. • Tools for self-reflection of students’ learning, documentation of their professional growth, and preparation for performance-based licensure. Report of the Portfolio Task Force. (2000, May). 2004
Portfolio Processes • Collection • Students gather materials to show knowledge, dispositions, and performance. • Selection • Students identify those artifacts that they believe address standards. • Reflection • Students think about their own evolving teaching practice. • Projection • Students consider what steps they need to take to improve. Danielson & Abrutyn (1997) 2004
Why Electronic? • Allows for artifacts in multiple media types (text, graphics, audio, video). • Supports hyperlinking to interconnect work and link to standards. • Portable, accessible, easily backed up, and avoids space demands of paper. • Creation helps students develop their own technology skills. 2004
Purdue Electronic Portfolio • The Purdue Electronic Portfolio (PEP) system was developed as part of the P3T3 project in part to help our students: • document knowledge and ability to teach, • reflect on their teaching growth and development, and • demonstrate proficiency with technology. 2004
Primary Purpose • Faculty assess students’ work • Artifacts are key assignments from courses. • Portfolios are approved at 4 gates in the teacher education program. • This assessment provides evidence that students satisfy performance standards. • Data can be aggregated to assess the teacher education program. 2004
Additional Purposes • Students can assemble examples of work for seeking employment. • The process gives students practice preparing a portfolio, a process now required for subsequent state certification. • Developing electronic artifacts builds students’ own technology proficiency. 2004
Artifacts Portfolio Files PEP Organization 2004
Usage • PEP became required for students entering teacher education beginning Fall of 2002. • Blocks I through III, EDCI 270, EDFA 200, and other courses are now in the system. • Phased implementation is continuing. • Block IV in spring 2004. • Blocks V and VI in 2004-05. 2004
Technology • A database in Microsoft’s SQL Server, a large-scale database application, holds the portfolio information. • The hardware consists of a quad-processor IBM server with about 2 terabytes of total disk storage. • An ASP-programmed web front-end allows users to have convenient access via any web browser. 2004
Demonstration 2004
Demonstration • Let’s see a demonstration of some of the basic functionality of this system. Instructor Side Student Side 2004
