I'm a person who is playing with eportfolios to use with my grad students in a Marriage & Family Therapy clinical Training Program. Our training includes a number of reflective exercises that helps to grow the person of the therapist to learn and recognize their own values & beliefs while integrating and synthesizing theory and their own life experiences. So from an assessment perspective, there are a number of questions that arise. What is one assessing? Quality of reflection? values? competency standards? what practice is not without values? So whose values? <br /><br />The question(s) that comes up for me, as I read this post is related to the invitation to step outside the box modeled on "mint" (which I too use & love it) for a system of intellectual assets: What is this system that we want to create? Is it for intellectual assets? Should the student's learning be "reduced" to intellectual assets? Or how else should we frame it? System of Life-long Learning? I believe that the way we label this is crucial to how we construct "Human Capital" as <b>we live the stories we tell</b>. And our virtual asset story can take on a life of its own, so not only how do we want to story our lives but also how do we, as a society-community of practice, want to "structure" infrastructures for such virtual asset stories? <i>We as humans are shaped by forms</i> (among other things) <i>and inturn shape the forms around us, performing a recursive process of product and process of our lives.</i> As educators we are shaped by one of the needs to assess/evaluate (forms) that shape the way we create and what we create within the learning spaces. How would we be creating if the frame was not to assess/evaluate? What would we construct if these were not the frames as in the "gone google" environments where these frames are missing? So how do we step outside our box of evaluation/assessment?<br /><br /><i>Yours in creating....our everyday practices for living!</i>SBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399379834139968170noreply@blogger.com
