Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted workshops, and succeeded in increasing the number of creators and introduction agencies in order to distribute academic portfolios (descriptions based on self-reflection on achievements in education, research and service activities, as well as supporting documents of such descriptions) and teaching portfolios, which need to be prepared at the preliminary stage, to technical colleges, etc. We also investigated the effects of creating teaching portfolios, as well as the continuity of such effects, through questionnaires. Furthermore, we studied the influence of conducting creation workshops at different venues on the outcome of teaching portfolios and the success of workshops, and revealed that the difference in venues did not affect the creation outcome of teaching portfolios or the success/failure of workshops.
