The learning portfolio: reflective practice for improving student learning

The learning portfolio is a powerful complement to traditional measures of student achievement and a compelling and widely diverse method of recording intellectual growth. Portfolio strategies involve students in a higher order, critically reflective process that enriches and refines their educational experience, helping to make them more aware of their own learning at more sophisticated levels. The value of portfolios in improving student learning resides in engaging students not just in collecting and selecting representative artifacts of their work but in addressing critically stimulating questions such as what one has learned; how was it learned; when was it learned and how does it fit into a comprehensive, continual plan for learning; what difference has the learning made in ones intellectual, personal, and ethical development; and why was it valuable to learn at all.
