The effectiveness of portfolios for post-graduate assessment and education: BEME Guide No 12

Abstract: The evidence base is extensive, but contains few high quality studies with generalisable messages about the effectiveness of portfolios. There is, however, good evidence that if well implemented, portfolios are effective and practical in a number of ways including increasing personal responsibility for learning and supporting professional development. Electronic versions are better at encouraging reflection and users voluntarily spend longer on them. Regular feedback from a mentor enhances this success, despit… Show more

“…The data suggests that for students it provides an opportunity to apply prescribing theory to their own area of practice. The portfolio verifies that the clinical evidence has been rigorously assessed by expert practitioners in practice, meets the required academic level and also equips the student with the skills to take responsibility for their own professional development (Joyce, 2005;Sturmberg and Farmer, 2009;Tochel et al, 2009). However, other respondents were sceptical in terms of relevance to practice and time spent compiling evidence.…”

Tochel et al [4] soulignent une plus grande accessibilité, une plus grande période d'utilisation et ils mettent en avant l'avantage qu'apportent les liens électroniques. Les commentaires des résidents recrutés dans notre étude ont confirmé ces avantages, tout en suggérant quelques modifications techniques mineures.…”
