4th QUARTER | WORK IMMERSION

WEEK 1-4: STUDENT PORTFOLIO IN WORK IMMERSION

STUDENT PORTFOLIO

A student portfolio is a collection of documents that provide a description and overview of

the work immersion experience. The student who undergoes the work immersion prepares a folder where required
reports could be compiled like the accomplished forms, everyday output and narrative reports, and document
evidence.

Portfolio Content

a) Accomplished forms
b) Pictures of work site and non-written output/ projects with captions
c) Illustrations of activities performed (as needed)
d) Weekly diary (narrative/ account of learnings and achievements, issues faced and corresponding
resolutions)
e) Sample written output (if any)
f) Work immersion highlights
g) Other relevant pictures/ documents

WEEKLY DIARY

A work immersion diary also known as work journal is a structured, re-occurring way to document, reflect and
improve your decision-making at work. Unlike other journaling methods, the questions and prompts are geared
towards your work experience vs. personal life. A diary can be as simple as “writing down what happened today,”
although for the process to be helpful in the long run, it requires a bit more structure. Start by outlining your work goals
in an accessible document. You may even share this document with your immediate supervisor for feedback and in
case there are any resources you’ll need to feel supported in meeting these goals.

Open that document every Monday morning as you plan your work. Each week, create a list of the tasks that
will help you reach the larger goals you’ve outlined in addition to other daily tasks that come up along the way.

Now that you have a structure for what you intend to do, you can get started on tracking what it is that you’re
doing. The point in having both lists is to help you hold yourself accountable; the more you practice setting goals and
recording your progress, the better you’ll be at predicting your own pace and capacity.

ACTIVITY NO. 1: Create your DAILY WORK DIARY based on your actual Work Immersion (WI) experiences.

Note: If you haven’t undergone work immersion, assuming that you are assigned to Computer Laboratory in our
school or any work immersion workplace you may want to able to experience. (20 points)

Your answer:

2. What did you learn from this work immersion? Ideally you want to think about the skills and qualities you
may have learned or developed and any knowledge you may have gained. (20 points)
Your answer:

3. Now, how would you apply this learning to home, school, and community. You need to clearly link the
learning you had on the work immersion and then explain how you’ll use that in the areas (home, school,
community).
I recommend a different learning for each one, example: “Having experienced the world of work, the
long hours and how tired I felt when I got home, I’m now more aware of how my parents feel when
they get home in the evening and I’ll help out more in the house.” (20) points)
