The Use of Academic Portfolio in the Learning and Assessment of Physics Students from a Singapore Private College

Öz:

The purpose of this perspective paper is to examine the use of portfolios in the teachingand learning of physics in a Singapore private college. The paper starts with a shortintroduction of the types of students and the purpose of using academic portfolios intheir learning and assessment. Some ideas of how portfolios can be used in the localcontext will also be discussed. It is necessary for teachers to know how to incorporateportfolio assessment in their daily lesson plans. At the same time, students who arestudying physics at the college should also know how to use portfolios to their academicadvantage. The paper also highlights three of the relevant work artifacts that can beincluded into the physics portfolios. The three work samples are concept-maps, internetresearch reports and newspaper articles reports. Concept-maps are useful tools to helpstudents establish the connections between concepts. Internet research reports serve asimportant means for students to know more about how some scientific devices ortechnology use physics in the operations. Newspaper articles reports allow students tounderstand the real impact of physics on the lives of people. Subsequent sections of thepaper discuss about the organizational flow of the portfolio, the timeline, the selectionprocess, the portfolio checklist and assessment rubrics, the positive influences of usingportfolios, the issues to consider and also the potential problems that physics teachersmay face in implementing portfolios. These sections present the important frameworkwhich teachers can use as references for their portfolio initiatives in schools.
