Abstract
This study aims to discern how teacher candidates develop reflective capacity by self-assessing their portfolios. While the goal was to help first-year teacher candidates assess their progress toward achieving provincial teaching competencies, many called attention to the interconnections between their academic artifacts and their personal profiles. This led the researcher to refine the focus of the portfolio to the emergence of professional identity and developing structures to support this type of self-awareness.
Keywords:
- Reflection,
- portfolios,
- self-assessment
Résumé
Cette étude vise à trouver comment les futurs enseignants développent la capacité de réflexion par l’auto-évaluation sur leurs portfolios. Bien que le but était d’aider les enseignants en première année de formation à évaluer leurs progrès vers la réalisation des compétences provinciales, plusieurs d’entre eux ont attiré l’attention des chercheurs sur les liens entre leurs artéfacts universitaires et leurs profils personnels. Ce développement a conduit les chercheurs à affiner la finalité du portfolio pour soutenir l’émergence d’une identité professionnelle et au développement des structures pour soutenir cette forme de connaissance de soi.
