Learning Portfolio Reflective Practice for Improving Student Learning

The learning portfolio-- grounded in a process of reflection, evidence, and collaboration-- is a rich, flexible document that engages students in continuous, thoughtful analysis of their learning. The portfolio may be paper, electronic, or another creative medium, but at its center, the power of writing and reflection combine in the portfolio with purposeful, selective collection and assessment of learning endeavors and outcomes to improve learning. Straightforward and easy to understand, this book offers readers both an academic understanding of and rationale for learning portfolios and practical information that can be custom tailored to suit many disciplinary, pedagogical, programmatic, and institutional needs. "The Learning Portfolio" reflects the intellectual growth and excitement that both professors and students have experienced in developing learning portfolios.Zubizarreta, John is the author of 'Learning Portfolio Reflective Practice for Improving Student Learning', published 2004 under ISBN 9781882982660 and ISBN 1882982665.
