Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
Seventeen students from grades nine, ten and twelve were enrolled in a rural Midwest school participated in the study. The purpose of the study was to investigate the implementation of portfolios to determine its impact on critical thinking skills. The research group collected different samples of their work during a nine week time period. After the collection of material, students selected what material they wanted to include in a portfolio then reflected on the rationale behind each selection. There were improvements in critical thinking skills as measured by the teacher/researcher through the use of portfolio rubrics, entry questionnaires and exit questionnaires.
