trainee or applicant for an employment needs to prepare different documents/

 LESSON

In previous Work Immersion/ Culminating Activity, learners have to be

deployed for 10 days in the respective work places or if it is a Culminating
Activity, they have to present an actual performance or do actual social
responsibility. But during the time of crisis, we need to adjust to the situation
where you will do it online or offline at home.

Being a work immersion learner/trainee in a company or at home, you have

to take note of the duties and responsibilities of the immersion learner.

As a work immersion learner you are expected to:

1. attend Pre and Post Immersion Activities;

2. report to the Work Immersion Partner Institution Supervisor during actual

immersion; (if done in the company) but if at home, you have to report to your
Immersion teacher/Focal Person;

3. perform the duties and tasks as indicated in the prescribed template for
work immersion list of tasks/activities; or if at home, perform the instructions
in the home-based work plan;

4
 4. prepare the documentations and reports required in the curriculum and
by the Partner Institution or by the Immersion Teacher and Focal Person in
your school.

As stated in your duties and responsibilities especially in number 4, you have

to prepare the documentations and reports which you will be submitting to
your Work Immersion Teacher after completing your Home-based Work
Immersion Plan.

So for today’s discussion on portfolio, you will be guided on what to prepare

as part of your documentations and reports.

Stated in the Glossary of Education Reform, student portfolio is a

compilation of academic work and other forms of educational evidence
assembled for the purpose of (1) evaluating coursework quality, learning
progress, and academic achievement; (2) determining whether students have
met learning standards or other academic requirements for courses, grade-
level promotion, and graduation; (3) helping students reflect on their academic
goals and progress as learners; and (4) creating a lasting archive of academic
work products, accomplishments, and other documentation.

Forms of Portfolios:

1. Notebooks filled with documents

2. Notes
3. Graphics
4. Letters
5. resumes
6. Physical collection of student work like written assignments, journals,
tests, artworks, lab reports, physical projects or any other material
evidence of learning progress and academic accomplishments
including awards, honors certifications, recommendations, written
evaluation by teachers or peers and self-reflections by the students.

What is Online Portfolio?

Online portfolios are often called digital portfolios or e-portfolios.

Examples:
1. Blogs
2. Online Journals
5
 3. Reflection about learning activities, progress and accomplishments.
4. Digital artefacts like student-created videos, multimedia presentations,
spreadsheets, websites, photographs

Those are forms of portfolios which can be used as proofs o f your

accomplishments and learnings. Whether it’s online portfolio or printed, it’s
up to you based on your resources. What is important is you have documents
as entries in your portfolio. Immersion teacher uses it as basis and part of
your grade in Work Immersion which is a requirement for graduation.

Besides those that are mentioned above, you have to take note of the
following:

In any portfolio – whether print or online – it is also important to follow

guidelines of academic integrity.

1. All materials – including language, content and images – must be

suitable for all audiences, including young children who may view the
portfolios.
2. Please do not include negative or damaging comments about
employers, teachers, community leaders or other individuals in your
portfolio.
3. Do not include personal contact information, including phone
numbers or addresses. If you want to include an email address on
your resume for potential employers to contact you, you may do so,
but if are under 18, please obtain your parent or guardian's
permission. When you post your resume in the portfolio, you should
include just your name, the name of your school and, with your
parent or guardian's permission, your email address.
4. Don't include any personal information about yourself or others in a
database or other portfolio product. Remember that users can
download files from the web, so they could download a copy of your
database.
5. Carefully cite any print or online source materials that you use. Please
acknowledge the role of other people in any of your projects and
explain your role if you were a member of a team. Today's workplace
requires collaboration and teamwork, and so readers will be interested
in seeing how you were able to work with others to complete projects.

6
In preparing for your portfolio, please be guided by its content based on
the DepEd’s Curriculum Guide for Work Immersion.

1. Accomplished forms
You learned from your last module, the different forms you need to fill
out and accomplish. So those forms will be included in your portfolio.

2. Pictures of work site and nonwritten output/ projects with

captions
Since you cannot perform your Work Immersion in a real workplace,
you can ask somebody to take a photo of yourself in a work station at
home while you perform your immersion.
3. Illustrations of activities performed (as needed)
4. Weekly diary (narrative/ account of learnings and achievements,
issues faced and
corresponding resolutions)

Suggested Weekly Diary (Work Immersion Teachers may devise another

template.)

Date Activities Performed Issues or Problems Resolutions Done

or Accomplished Encountered
( as per instructions
from the Workplan)

5. Sample written output (if any)

It is expected that you will be doing written activities/tasks assigned by
your Work Immersion Teacher, so you can include your written outputs
in your portfolio.

immersion highlights? These
