目的.探讨美国医学院在晋升和终身教职中教学档案袋的状况和使用。一个两阶段的定性研究，使用基于网络的搜索程序和电话采访进行。第一阶段使用医学院校网站的关键词搜索评估了美国医学院校教学组合式系统的渗透率。第二阶段调查了16所美国医学院目前使用的教学档案袋，这些学校在1992年的一项调查中报告了它们的使用情况。被指定为对教师任命/晋升负有主要责任的个人被联系参加30-60分钟的面试。对美国医学院网站的第一阶段搜索显示，76所医学院可以通过网络访问有关记录教育活动的信息。17所医学院中共有16所对第二阶段做出了回应。2003年，所有16个机构都继续采用类似组合的制度。两个文件类别，荣誉/奖项和哲学/个人陈述有关教育，包括了六个以上的这些学校比使用这些类别在1992年。在第二阶段的15所学校中，向同事传播工作现在是一个关键的内容。用于记录教育的最常见的证据类型是学习者和/或同伴评级，很少使用结果测量和内部/外部审查。在过去的十年里，医学院的数量增加了400%以上，这些医学院的晋升包中包括与教员在教育方面的卓越表现有关的投资组合式文件。在早期响应学校中，文件类别的类型有所增加，但学生对教学的评分仍然是用来记录所报告的教育工作质量或成果的主要证据。
Purpose. To explore the state and use of teaching portfolios in promotion and tenure in U.S. medical schools.Method. A two-phase qualitative study using a Web-based search procedure and telephone interviews was conducted. The first phase assessed the penetration of teaching portfolio-like systems in U.S. medical schools using a keyword search of medical school Web sites. The second phase examined the current use of teaching portfolios in 16 U.S. medical schools that reported their use in a survey in 1992. The individual designated as having primary responsibility for faculty appointments/promotions was contacted to participate in a 30-60 minute interview.Results. The Phase 1 search of U.S. medical schools' Web sites revealed that 76 medical schools have Web-based access to information on documenting educational activities for promotion. A total of 16 of 17 medical schools responded to Phase 2. All 16 continued to use a portfolio-like system in 2003. Two documentation categories, honors/awards and philosophy/personal statement regarding education, were included by six more of these schools than used these categories in 1992. Dissemination of work to colleagues is now a key inclusion at 15 of the Phase 2 schools. The most common type of evidence used to document education was learner and/or peer ratings with infrequent use of outcome measures and internal/ external review.Conclusions. The number of medical schools whose promotion packets include portfolio-like documentation associated with a faculty member's excellence in education has increased by more than 400% in just over ten years. Among early-responder schools the types of documentation categories have increased, but students' ratings of teaching remain the primary evidence used to document the quality or outcomes of the educational efforts reported.
