Universiteit van Amsterdam Traditional university Not really competence based education Development of academic skills Several pilots during several years 2 examples –Just fresh: Medicine –Some years experience: Chemistry

Example from Medicine Educational goals: 1.Monitoring of student development, accessible for student and educator 2.Storage of Feedback 3.Tool for reflection Pilot: Professional behavior of 1st year students, Four subjects: 1.Paper presentation on a clinical problem (T-ow) 2.Essay: ‘Being a good doctor’ (clinical demo observations) 3.Nursing traineeship 4.Performing the physical examination (3D-mens)

Matrix; overview Educational goals Student’s materials

Student material in a cell

Instructor adds evaluation

Viewing the ‘status’ of student’s matrix by the colors of the cells Blue cell = completed - student’s materials and - teacher’s evaluation

Lessons learned so far Positive 1.The matrix gives structure 2.There is a overview of elements 3.The changing in colors is useful 4.The documents are fixed after ‘assessment’ Concerns 1.The matrix is not easy to build 2.Clear definition of expectations and instructions is necessary 3.this version: to much steps for uploading, for making a presentation (better in release 2.4)

Example from Chemistry Educational goals: 1.Support and monitoring of development of academic skills by student and faculty 2.Reflection on development of academic skills 3.Archive of evidence material made in chemistry courses, reflection and feedback Pilot academic skills: bachelor students Chemistry (3 years) : 1 year bachelor

Assignment Year 1 Write one paragraph about what the labs were about. Which skills did you develop during the labs? Refer on evidence material (see here below). You can check the list of academic skills in the bachelor (see attachment). On which of these skills do you need to work further? Upload the documents which give an evidence (e.g. labs rapports, presentations) of your skills. Make a link to your CV in this portfolio presentation.

List of Portfolio Presentations

Sample portfolio presentations Student 1 Student 2 Student (CV)

Experiences after first year 1.Short starting time portfolio necessary (works very intuitive) 2.Good quality of portfolio presentations by students obtained 3.Feedback by students was useful 4.Not enough support by the tool for the instructor, such as: –search presentations / students –arrange by title / students / date –classification of presentations Good practice 1 ask students to send an invitation mail only if there is no deadline Good practice 2 give some instruction how to give peer feedback to assure its quality
