How does Praxis³ work?

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Praxis³ combines the documentation of one’s own development goals and reflections with self-assessments and peer assessments. Documentation takes place in the Praxis³ ePortfolio on Mahara. Self-assessments and peer assessments are conducted using the Praxis³ reflection tool.

Documentation in Praxis³ ePortfolio

Throughout the Praxis³ course, students document their learning history, their development goals, and key insights from the reflective discussions. A pre-designed ePortfolio template is available in Mahara for this purpose.

Self-assessments and external evaluations

Self-assessments and peer assessments are conducted using the Praxis³ reflection tool. The process is initiated by the students. They then receive personal links via email for their own self-assessment as well as for their high school and university mentors.

Detailed instructions on accessing the links, viewing the results, and troubleshooting potential issues can be found at FAQ and Help.

Reflection Discussions

The summarized results of the self-assessments and peer assessments, along with the current development goals, form the basis for the reflection discussions at reflection points B and D. Students make these documents available to their school and university advisors for the discussion.

Subsequently, the goals set so far are reviewed and—if appropriate—adjusted, clarified, or reformulated. Further documentation is then entered into the Praxis³ ePortfolio.
