| Abstract(in English) | In first-year and second-year seminars, students were assigned homework requiring them to upload entries in a learning portfolio (LP) to a designated web site every week concurrently with ordinary lessons. Students selected what they considered to be the most impressive lesson in a given week and reflected on ways to put the material contained in the lesson to practical use. Additionally they reflected on their experience outside the classroom in order to relate this experience to material covered in the lessons. Responses from student evaluations given in the final lessons of the semester indicated that the students had positive feelings about the LPs and recognized that the LPs helped them grow as students. But the results also indicated that students had difficulty comprehending connections between the material presented in lessons and out-of-class experiences. Additionally results indicated that the appropriate amount of time for students to spend writing LP entries should be less than one hour per week and contain an average of about 400 words. This would give the students sufficient time to continue to work on the LPs throughout the semester. Students indicated that the instructor's comments increased their motivation to continue working on the LPs, so instructors should comment on student LP entries every week, even though the instructors might view this as a heavy load on their work schedule. Instructors should make time to meet with students to discuss LPs in class. This ideally would increase reciprocal understanding between instructors and students and create a sense of solidarity in the class as a whole in the courses in which LPs are assigned. |
