| Abstract: | This article deals with the extent to which a portfolio (here as: p-f.) may address the challenges of assessment for quality learning in professional (here as: prof.) education programmes. A 4-year action research study examined the development and implementation of a p-f. for the assessment of practice in a prof. development programme preparing special education resource teachers for a new role. Presented is a conceptual framework for an effective prof. practice p-f., derived from the refinement of the p-f. and teaching programme. It is found that a well-designed p-f. may support quality learning through the integration of theory and practice, the promotion of self-assessment, autonomy, reflection and meta-cognition, and the enhancement of the programme's relevance to workplace practice. |
