Abstract
Every year an increasing number of employers get interested in the university graduates, most suitable for the requirements the companies set. However, the standard CVs often do not reveal the potential and peculiarities of formation of graduate competences. The authors suggest using portfolio instead of a CV. The authors analyzed 1797 portfolios of TPU students and offered optimal structure and criteria of portfolio. In addition, the authors provide an example of how the achievements reflected in portfolio can be considered. The conclusion is made about the necessity of the portfolio. The authors determined employer’s role in the formation and evaluation of the portfolio. Moreover, the value of tracking the dynamics of growth of portfolio components is denoted as a new performance evaluation system in higher education.
Highlights
Modern world has been a global market for quite a long time already
Universities around the world should analyze the needs of the modern world to timely offer what students and industry demand [1]
Students have been enrolled in Russian universities with consideration of the results of their individual achievements, i.e. portfolio compiled during the last school year
Summary
Modern world has been a global market for quite a long time already. Education is a product sold around. The questionnaires offered by employers ask to describe the achievements of graduates in science and social activities apart from GPA - grade point average. The authors consider it possible to continue the practice of formation and evaluation of the portfolio documents in the period of study at the university. This on the one hand, will serve as an additional motivation to the active life position of the students, beginning with the first day at the university, and on the other hand, will help to ensure a more profitable positioning of a graduate (as it contains much more information for employers than the standard CV does)
