The Importance of Using Portfolio: Obstacles and Attitudes towards It in/by Educational Practice Course Students at Hebron University

 Abstract:

This study explores not only the importance of student's use of portfolio in an educational practice course at Hebron University, but also their obstacles and attitudes towards it.  The employed sample consists of 94 male and female students who have ben chosen in a random manner.  To collect data, a realizable and credible questionnaire has been employed with regard to three areas: importance, obstacles and direction.  The reached results reveal that portfolio is very important for the development of students; its significance, for example, could be seen in its range of actions that are self-sustaining-prepared.  The most significant constraint is the absence of adequate awareness of how to use it. The most important progress  has been directed toward change, innovation and diversity.  On the other side, it has been noted that the female students are willing to use portfolio more than male students. There are more impediments for literary disciplines than others.  In the light of these results, some recommendations and suggestions have been provided.

 Key Words: Portfolio, Obstacles, Significance, Attitudes, Educational practice.
