Transforming learning portfolio practice: the critical folio thinking framework

This digital poster will describe the Critical Folio Thinking framework for learning portfolio practice. Critical Folio Thinking emphasizes four key components of learning portfolio practice: the learning process, critical thinking skills, reflection and discipline context, see figure 1 below (Farrell & Seery, 2019; Farrell, 2018). Learning portfolios focus on the developmental process of learning, enabling students to reflect on how, why and what they learned, thus developing reflective judgement and higher order learning (Zubizaretta, 2009). Effective learning portfolio practice is grounded in a discipline, with an incremental design which focuses on the process of learning through the medium of reflective writing.
