“…Despite the lack of research into portfolios, the literature outlines that there has been an expansion in the use of portfolios within nursing education. Due to the perceived advantages such as promoting a learner‐centre focus that encourages health professionals to take responsibility for their own learning (Hull and Redfern, 1996) and promoting deep learning through critical thinking and reflection. The findings from this study indicate that portfolios may not encourage deep learning; it is imperative that further research is carried out into students’ perceptions of portfolio use.…”

There is a lack of evaluative literature on the use of learning portfolios in nursing. Many students are still unclear on the benefit of using a learning portfolio, and fulfilling the criteria for the portfolios remains low priority. Over a 5-year period, tutors on the Specialist Practitioner Qualification in Critical Care found that there was a wide variety of practice in portfolio use. There is comparatively little known about how the students perceive the use of portfolios. Therefore, a small descriptive survey took place in 2001/2002 involving 22 previous students, to identify the value of portfolios from the student perspective. Recommendations from this study are given on how to improve portfolio use.

“…In contrast to the traditional approach of passive, teacher‐led learning, the portfolio approach is more based on experiential learning, where the learner is actively involved with the realities being studied (Kolb 1984, Hull & Redfern 1996, Quinn 1998; Redfern 1998). Kolb (1984) has tried to explain how we learn from experience, and views experiential learning as a cycle involving action and reflection, theory and practice (Figure 2).…”

“…Sheckley and Keeton (1994) argue that the flow of the stages and how they are used depend upon the learner's interest and willingness to learn. This in turn will be influenced by many factors, such as personal characteristics and motivation, the characteristics and requirements of the particular job, and the nature and culture of the working environment (Hull & Redfern 1996).…”

A holistic approach to competence seems to be compatible with the use of portfolios to assess competence in nursing students, but the concept and its implementation is still evolving. A variety of assessment methods are needed for assessment and portfolios appear to have the potential to integrate these. Reflection is an essential component of a portfolio, as are the student-teacher relationship and explicit guidelines for constructing the portfolio. Issues of rigour in assessment of portfolios need to be addressed, but the assessor's professional judgement will inevitably enter into this assessment.

“…At the same time, the importance of quality of life ideas for the rhetoric of city competitiveness focused new attention on the consumer experience of travelling around the city, and so considerable efforts were made to achieve the so-called 'seamless journey' through better physical integration between modes (i.e. through the construction of better bus/rail interchanges), through the 21 applications of new technology to innovations such as smart ticketing, and between transport and other areas of public policy such as planning and the improvement of the public realm (Hull 2005;Williams, 2005) and public health (Lopez and Hynes, 2006;Ming Wen and Rissel, 2008). Such increasing complexity in the task of improving transport infrastructure and services for economic gain reflects the "changing connections and inter-relations between social, political and cultural factors" (Painter, 1995: 276) …”
