Portfolios as Sites of Learning: Reconceptualizing the Connections to Motivation and Engagement.
Clark, Caroline; Chow-Hoy, Todd K.; Herter, Roberta J.; Moss, Pamela A.
Journal of Literacy Research, v33 n2 p211-41 Jun 2001
Examines how students' participation in the process of constructing portfolios may affect their motivation for and engagement in literacy learning. Uses vignettes of students from an urban high school to lay out initial understandings of portfolios, and articulates an emerging theory around process portfolios. Suggests a broadening of the focus of motivation and engagement to include sociocultural factors. (RS)
