Abstract
This multi-participant case study aimed to examine web-based portfolio development in the service of supporting reflective thinking and learning within the innovative context of Professional Development Schools. The questions that guided this study are: a) What is the nature of the evidence-based philosophies developed by prospective elementary teachers as central part of a web-based portfolio task? and b) In what ways does the technology contribute to the web-based portfolio task? The findings of this study illuminated the participants' understandings about learning and teaching science and illustrated how the web-based forum and the way the task was organized supported a continuous engagement in metacognition, self-reflection and self-evaluation.
