Özet:

 

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of teacher portfolios on promoting
professional development of teachers with a focus on the contributions and
difficulties of portfolio construction process. Eight English teachers from Namık
Kemal University, School of Foreign Languages participated in this study.
Participants constructed teacher portfolios using INTASC standards during 2010-
2011 school years. A qualitative case study research method was applied to analyze
the data gathered from pre- and post- interviews and submitted teacher portfolios.
The results showed that teacher portfolios were effective on professional
development in terms of organization and planning, self-awareness, self-reflection
and self-evaluation, continuous teacher professional development, student
motivation, confidence and professional satisfaction. However, the participants
emphasized that lack of time; guidance and evidence were the main hindrances in
the portfolio construction process. Teacher portfolios allowed teachers to reflect
upon their teaching practices and provided teachers an alternative pathway for
professional development.
