appreciation sheet of the portfolio

This tool should be filled by the tutor after the delivery of the Reflective Learning Portfolio by the learner.

This appreciation sheet, by itself, doesn’t have the purpose to evaluate the learning outcomes developed by the learner. The Reflective Learning Portfolio can be used to assess if the learner developed the expected learning outcomes after the training period, but the tutor should use Tool_16 to register the assessment results.

Scale: 1– Insufficient; 2– Sufficient; 3– Satisfactory; 4– Good; 5– Very good; 6– Excellent

ANNEX I – TECHNICAL SHEET

This tool aims to provide:
1. a tool to assess the learning outcomes developed by learners during an internship / a learning period abroad;
2. a support for the assimilation and reflection on the learning outcomes acquired or developed during the internship / training period abroad and it’s registration;
3. a model of a Reflective Learning Portfolio to be developed by the learner with the aim to put in evidence the learning outcomes acquired or developed during the internship / training period abroad.
This framework is intended to be used in monitoring and evaluating:
1. the development of knowledge, skills and competence related to specific key technical outcomes by learners during an internship;
2. the capacity to apply previously acquired knowledge and skills in a real work context;
3. the learners’ team work;
4. the learners’ know-how;
5. the learners’ capacity on reflective learning and exploring the meaning and the consequences of the content of learning experiences for future actions.
6. the activity and support provided by the tutor during the training period.
This framework is intended for the use of schools, public bodies and other private enterprises who participate in European mobility projects.
This framework is intended to be applied in the context of ECVET implementation, specifically, to monitor, assess, validate, recognize and certificate units of learning outcome acquired by VET learners in a variety of learning contexts, such as, when learners participate in European mobility projects.

The Reflective Learning Portfolio is used during the learning experience for learners’ reflective learning. Learners are asked to develop the Portfolio and collect the materials for the portfolio during the entire period of the learning experience in order to reflect on the practical training and in order to use the technical terminology properly. The Reflective Learning Portfolio is used as a support tool for trainees in the process of acquiring new theoretical knowledge and development of their technical vocabulary and to become aware of their own competencies.

The Reflective Learning Portfolio should be periodically supervised by the tutor.

Phase and Stage of the Pedagogical Circuit in which the framework should be used:

Phase 2: Implementing Mobility

Stage 5: Monitoring and Evaluating
