| Popis: | Portfolio learning has recently been described as a postgraduate learning tool. In 1990 it was incorporated as a learning and examining tool for the Diploma in Palliative Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine. A personal learning portfolio is a highly individualized collection of case study and other clinical or intellectual material which reflects the learning progress. Resource material can be obtained from a wide variety of scientific and artistic sources, for example, medical and lay literature, films, videos, etc. The process of clinical decision-making should be described and defended with appropriate references and ethical principles involved. This record logs the evolution of the course participant's learning over three academic terms and provides a valuable source document for each individual learner. Marks are given for critical analysis, evidence of reading and its application in clinical practice, evidence of a learning process and organization of ethical issues where appropriate. No marks are awarded on the factual content of any case history alone, although obvious episodes of mismanagement can be questioned. The portfolio is concerned with the process of learning and how decisions are come to rather than which decision is made. We have noted some correlation between the portfolio marks attained by students on the course and marks attained in their course work (essays, etc.). Our first year of experience using portfolio learning in a postgraduate medical context is described. |
