Abstract: ABSTRACT A Case Study of Using Portfolio in a Secondary 4 Geography Class submitted by Tse Pui Sze For the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong February, 2006 This exploratory study examines people's views and opinions on portfolios as a learning tool. This focuses on the learning perspective in the context of a public examination class on the advantages and disadvantages of portfolio strategy. Portfolio is argued to improve learning because it enhances learning and provides engagement in the action. This is viewed as a challenge to student who are used to rote learning in current schooling. The research objectives were to find out: (1) how effective students see the portfolio as enhancing their learning (2) how effective students see the portfolio as hindering their learning. The methodology was comprised of a small-scale intensive study of five students who were interviewed to explore their views on portfolios. Findings exposed a grounded theory of students' perceptions on portfolio by highlighting the key short and long term effects. Its short-term effects are: (i) providing opportunities for decision-making; (ii) developing ownership of learning; (iii) motivating learning; and (iv) developing new perception of meaningful geography. Students on the one hand acknowledged the values of portfolios on the short-term basis but they also expressed their long-term concern on portfolios. Their concern includes: (i) time-consuming; (ii) competition with examination demand. The dilemma between short-term and long-term effects of portfolios was explained by factors like: (i) time (ii) pressure from the public examinations; (iii) school culture; and (iv) societal attitude. The findings revealed that the realization of the potentials of portfolios is affected by the classroom pedagogy, classroom and school climate and public examination. i DOI: 10.5353/th_b3567620 Subjects: Portfolios in education - China - Hong Kong Geography - Study and teaching (Secondary) - China - Hong Kong High school students - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes
