The purpose of this research is to analyze how teaching portfolio is made of, utilized, and has an effect on improvement of teaching competency through case study of teaching portfolio development.
The subjects of the case study were 16 professors in C university. I conducted a survey and interviews for fall semester, 2009. The questionnaire consisted of seven items about difficulty of teaching portfolio development, effect of teaching portfolio, and validity of teaching portfolio items.
The results of this study were as follows. All items of teaching portfolio were appropriated. Professors felt difficulty in several items such as 'instruction reflection', 'instruction analysis' and 'student analysis'. Teaching portfolio provided opportunity to reflect and improve his/her instruction through objective analysis and self-diagnosis and -reflection.
To diffuse teaching portfolio, we should continue a study about teaching portfolio's development and effect.
