Your Learning Portfolio
This is a collection of information related to your
individual learning.
The portfolio is intended to provide some evidence that
learning has taken place and provide a focus to discuss future learning
plans.
You may, as a student or house officer have used a
‘learning portfolio’, or similar document, which consisted of learning aims,
a logbook and a record of appraisals. Your GP ST1/2 Learning Portfolio
should continue to contain these items, but now becomes a more individual
and personal collection, related to you, and reflecting closely your
interests and how you prefer to learn.
There is no set format for a learning portfolio. As an
example, the learning portfolio may consist of a box containing items
produced as a result of applying your own learning. These might be posters,
handbooks, videos or handmade items, but will usually be a written record of
what you did.
In practice, most people hold paper records, which are
retained in a ring binder in date order. These can consist of notes made,
reflection of what was learnt, or feedback on the course itself. This
educational portfolio can be used for this purpose.
The quantity of information is not as important as the
link between what you did, what you learnt and how you changed your future
approach as a result of learning.
The following items may be included in your learning
portfolio:
- Curriculum Vitae
- An educational log or diary of teaching attended
/experience gained
- Checklists covering specific skills and knowledge
acquired during a particular post
- A set of learning objectives for the future such as a
study leave plan, a personal development plan or part of the practice
professional development plan
- A record of appraisals and their outcomes
- Records of feedback including assessment scales and
references
- Summaries of audits, presentations or projects
undertaken
