Portfolios in teacher training

This page contains automatically translated content.

The portfolio is a form of performance record. In teacher training courses, portfolios can be used as evidence for the documentation, presentation, reflection and assessment of various achievements and individual learning progress. The portfolio created by learners is continuously expanded in specified periods of time or learning phases (seminar, study, practical phase) and documents their experiences and skills in various areas. In practice, there are various portfolios that can have different objectives, e.g. learning portfolios or competence portfolios.

For example, this can be a course portfolio in which content is compiled that relates to an individual course (seminar, lecture). Or the overarching study portfolio, which covers the entire course of study. Students can use Mahara and/or Moodle for ePortfolio management.

Examples of portfolios in the teacher training program

Cross-phase portfolio

The Hessian Teacher Training Act (HLbG) provides for a modular study structure with compulsory and compulsory elective modules for teacher training courses in Hesse. These must be documented in a continuous portfolio. This continuous portfolio covers the entire teacher training program.

Basic internship and practical semester Portfolio

The basic internship report is documented as part of the ongoing portfolio
and serves as a starting point for further reports during the internship semester. It
should be submitted as an EPortfolio.

The internship report from the basic internship is usually already available when participating in the internship semester
at the latest, however, before the internship report for the internship semester is prepared
(see § 7 of these internship regulations). The content of the internship report is to be continued in the internship semester in the sense of an ongoing portfolio.
