Description

This study analyzed interview data of students using the Modified Grounded Theory Approach, and suggested a hypothetical model of students' attitude change toward portfolios introduced in the JF language courses. The results showed that 1) some students became pioneers of portfolios soon after guidance, 2) most students took negative attitudes toward portfolios although they felt the review sheets were useful in the beginning, and 3) as the course progressed, studying Japanese characters and the pioneers made other students aware of the usefulness of portfolios, which resulted in more active use of the portfolios. The results also pointed out that in some cases students kept negative attitudes, or their awareness of usefulness didn't lead to active use of portfolios. Finally, this paper suggested three ways to promote usage of portfolios ; 1) teaching Japanese characters, 2) encouraging the students' reflective discussion, 3) using portfolio assessments as a requirement for course completion.
