Auteur(s): Ann Deketelaere ISBN: 9789044126587 Clerkships in clinical environments are a self-evident part of the curriculum in any medical education programme. Yet, students’ learning during these clerkships remains little understood and – as a consequence –the issue of properly supporting that learning still raises many questions. During the past decade, portfolios have become widely used in response to these issues. Not only are portfolios supposed to structure and deepen students’ learning, they also provide a basis for systematic and effective support by the supervisors. As such portfolios are entangled in the clerkship triangle: the complex interplay of students, supervisors (in the clinical environment) and the training institute (the medical school). This book reports on a number of studies aimed at unravelling the clerkship triangle and the role of the portfolio in it. It reveals several processes and conditions that determine the actual meaning of the portfolio for both students’ learning and the supervision. It further argues that the learning portfolio operates as an artefact through which the medical school can be present in the clerkship environment and thus ‘steer from a distance’. Finally the book also explores the conditions for successful use of electronic portfolios. Over de auteur(s): Ann Deketelaere studied educational sciences at the K.U.Leuven.
