Portfolios are a good way for both teachers and students to document and analyse courses and their content.
Here, portfolios are kept by students like a logbook of the individual courses of a subject and a semester during their studies. The creation of the logbook serves to familiarise students with the method established in the field of pedagogy and as an introduction and preparation for more complex tasks in the following semesters.
The following must be recorded or answered for each course:
- Brief summary of the contents
- What was significant?
- What was incomprehensible?
- What has it done to me?
- What else would I have needed?
Finally, there is a reflection on the work with the portfolio. For the teacher, the logbook, including an in-depth discussion, serves as the basis for assessing the student's performance.
Work with the portfolio can be expanded with tasks as required. In this way, practical observations and other courses can be documented.
