Recognition portfolio

Cover sheet of the crediting portfolio

 

Here you will find an overview of the PLAR recognition portfolio.

Please only start creating the portfolio after your personal consultation with the PLAR-Service. The prerequisite is that you have previously attended an initial consultation.

All required documents can be found in the stud.IP course PLAR portfolio consultation.

Recogniton form

You can find the appropriate application form for your degree program in the stud.IP course PLAR Portfolio Consultation under "Files". Please complete a separate form for each subject (e.g. Education, area of specialisation). If there is no ready-made form for your degree program, please use the Bachelor's or Master's blank form.

Remember to put a cross(es) and your signature - only then will you actually submit your application for recognition.

 

Die Grafik zeigt den Aufbau des Anrechnungsantrags, der aus einer Tabelle mit fünf Spalten besteht. Ein Pop-Over-Fenster über der ersten Spalte erinnert an das Ankreuzen der Module, für die eine Anrechnung beantragt wird. Ein Pop-Over-Fenster über den beiden rechten Spalte mit den Überschriften „Note“ und „Bemerkungen“ weist darauf hin, dass diese Spalten nicht von den Studierenden, sondern gegebenenfalls von den Fachvertret*innen ausgefüllt werden. Ein Pop-Over-Fenster ganz am Ende des Antrags erinnert an Datum und Unterschrift.
Datum und Unterschrift nicht vergessen.
Ihre Kreuze kennzeichnen die Module, für die Sie die Anrechnung beantragen.
Bitte nicht ausfüllen. Hier tragen die Fachvertreter*innen ggf. Anmerkungen ein.

Explanatory statement

Please introduce yourself as a person on no more than one page. Describe in your own words why you are submitting the application. Please refer to the skills you have acquired to date.

You should consider the following points when explaining your application:

Cover letter
The explanatory statement is your cover letter and therefore your "most personal" contact with the recognition matters specialist of a subject who will decide on your application. Take the opportunity to introduce yourself to them.

Application knowledge
You can describe your own skills development in the explanatory statement.

No details
Do not refer to the content and learning outcomes of the study modules verbatim at this point (this step takes place in the recognition synopsis).

Form
Pay attention to the form: Use complete sentences and no bullet points.

Curriculum vitae

Please add a tabular curriculum vitae to the portfolio.
In particular, the CV should contain precise details of your training, further education and professional activities.

You should consider the following points when preparing your CV:

The aim of your CV is to show the skills you have acquired based on your career stages with as few gaps as possible.

Higher education entrance qualification
Which higher education entrance qualification do you have: a general or subject-specific one? Via Abitur or via a recognized professional qualification (Z examination, 3+3 regulation)?
Information about your primary school attendance does not have to be included in your CV.

Range
Do you have a professional hobby or do you do voluntary work? You can list skills from all areas of life in your CV.

Contact
Please include your university e-mail address and telephone number in your CV.

Private

Content before length
Your CV should be as concise as possible and as long as necessary. In order to be able to list all relevant training, further education and professional activities, the CV may be longer than 1-2 pages.

Recognition synopsis

For each of the modules for which you are applying for recogniton, please complete a recognition synopsis. You can find the form in the stud.IP course PLAR portfolio consultation under "Files".

The purpose of the recognition synopsis is to demonstrate that you have already achieved the competence objectives (see video below) of the module through skills/abilities acquired outside the university. To do this, you should describe in the form what you can already do (column 1) and where you learned it (column 2). In column 3, you should provide proof of the respective skill. For the correct numbering and further information, please refer to the menu item "Evidence".

The evidence provided should clearly show that you have the skills and abilities listed in column 1. If necessary, refer to specific pages in the supporting documents. Mark the relevant paragraphs in the supporting documents.

Please list a maximum of three authentic documents/curricula and a maximum of three certificates/diplomas per line. Please use a maximum of five pages for this table.

For more information on completing the synopsis, scroll over the highlighted areas:

Die Grafik zeigt den Aufbau der Anrechnungssynopse, die aus einer Tabelle besteht, und erläutert die sechs auszufüllenden Bereiche: Erstens: Über der Tabelle ist für jedes der von Ihnen beantragten Module eine fortlaufende Nummer (1, 2, 3) einzutragen. Zweitens: In der obersten Zeile ist die Bezeichnung des Moduls anzugeben. Beispiel für die Kombination aus Modulkürzel und -namen aus der Pädagogik: päd904 Erziehungs- und bildungswissenschaftliche Forschungsmethoden. Drittens: In der zweiten Zeile sind die Kompetenzziele des Moduls einzutragen. Sie finden sie im Modulverzeichnis. Das unter der Grafik verlinkte Video zeigt, wo genau Sie die Kompetenzziele finden. Bitte übernehmen Sie die Kompetenzziele wortwörtlich (Copy & Paste). Viertens: Ab dieser Zeile teilt sich die Tabelle in drei Spalten. In der ersten Spalte sollten Sie sich inhaltlich auf die Kompetenzziele des Moduls beziehen und in eigenen Worten beschreiben, was Sie können (z.B. Ich kann zu fällende Bäume identifizieren). Übernehmen Sie keinesfalls wortwörtlich die Kompetenzziele. Fünftens: In der zweiten Spalte geben Sie an, in welchem Kontext Sie die Kompetenzen erworben haben (z.B. Beruf, Ausbildung, ehrenamtliche Tätigkeit). Sechstens: In der rechten Spalte sind die Nachweise mit korrekter Nummer anzugeben (z.B. A1 oder Z2). Beachten Sie dazu die im folgenden To-Do-Punkt Nachweise angegebenen Hinweise
Give each of the modules you have applied for a consecutive number (1, 2, 3, ...).
Example: ped904 Educational and educational research methods
Enter the competence objectives of the module here. You can find them in the module directory. The video linked below shows where exactly you can find the competence objectives. Please copy and paste them word for word.
Refer to the content of the module's competence objectives and describe in your own words what you can do. Under no circumstances should you copy the competence objectives word for word.
In this column, indicate the context in which you acquired the competencies (e.g. profession, training, voluntary work).
Enter the evidence here with the correct number (e.g. A1 or Z2).

You can find the learning outcomes or competence objectives of a module via the  course directory.
The following video shows where the learning outcomes of a module can be found.

Evidence

In column 3 of the recognition synopsis, please refer to evidence of your skills and abilities. Copies of all the evidence listed here must be attached to the portfolio. Please do not attach any evidence to the portfolio that you have not listed in the recognition synopsis.

Number your evidence as follows:

  1. Authentic evidence and curricula (= non-formal evidence) consecutively with A1, A2, A3, ....
  2. Certificates and diplomas (= formal evidence) consecutively with Z1, Z2, Z3, ...

Then enter the numbers in the recognition synopsis in column 3 ("Reference to evidence") next to the relevant competence.

Please list a maximum of three authentic documents/curricula and a maximum of three certificates/diplomas per line in the credit synopsis.
 

Authentic evidence

Each person has individual authentic evidence. This means that they can be very different - the following list therefore only contains examples:

work samples

  • own publications (scientific articles, monographs)
  • work reports
  • Expert opinions (prepared by you)
  • Written or pictorial representations of your procedures:
    Notes, work plans, visualizations and presentations (graphics, illustrations, videos of drafts and results)

Retrospective written or graphical illustrations of your work procedures

 

Documentation of your skills in the form of newspaper articles or similar.

Curricula

Curricula are excerpts from the educational programmes you have completed: overviews of learning content, learning objectives, learning processes

Certificates and diplomas

Formal certificates

  1. from education, training and further education
  2. for professional or voluntary activities

Confirmations from your employers

The diplomas and certificates do not have to be notarized.

If it is not clear from which context the certificates originate, please add appropriate explanations.

Please adhere to the protection regulations for personal data in accordance with the GDPR and agreements made with employers to protect business secrets.

Confirmation of completeness

After you have submitted your recognition portfolio to the PLAR-Service, we will check whether all the required documents are included and whether the portfolio meets the quality requirements. The PLAR-Service then forwards your portfolio to the Examination Office.

Notes at the end

You should keep the following points in mind when creating your portfolio:

By submitting the recognition portfolio, you confirm that:

  • all documents and evidence submitted relate to your own biography.
  • all representations in the recognition synopses were created by you personally.

The recognition portfolio is not identical to the "portfolio" examination form.

  • You can only submit an application for recognition transfer if you have not yet registered for the relevant module examination (or if it is no longer possible to deregister). It is also not possible to submit a recognition application if you have already attempted an examination.
  • As long as your recognition application has not yet been decided, you should continue to attend the module courses for which you have applied for recognition and, if necessary, register for module examinations in order not to miss the registration deadline.

Please note that the decision on your recognition application may take several weeks. You can view the exact procedure for the PLAR recognition process here.

Submitting the recognition portfolio

Please upload your completed portfolio in the stud.IP course PLAR portfolio consultation under "Files". Here you will also find an information sheet with instructions for submission, which describes exactly how you should organize and label the individual documents of your portfolio in PDF documents.

The portfolio is submitted within a protected submission folder so that only the PLAR service staff can download and view your documents. Your portfolio will remain invisible to other participants in the course.

If you prefer to send us your recognition portfolio by post, please use the following address:

CvO University of Oldenburg
PLAR-Service V03

Note: If you would like to hand-deliver your portfolio to our post office box, you will find it in building V03 on the first floor in room S016. Please drop your portfolio into the PLAR-Service inbox here.
