What is PDR?
The Personal Development Record (PDR) component of a Progress File is: ” ….. a record of evidence and personal reflection about knowledge, attributes, skills and experience from which students can extract information to construct CVs/Personal Statements/letters of application for a wide variety of audiences”. Keith Cooper, Directorate of Academic Student Affairs, Oxford Brookes University, 2001 He adds that they are ” …. intended for use in conjunction with a Transcript (official record of achievements) that can be used both formatively and summatively”, and that they should ” …. offer students the facility to create and subsequently modify Actions Plans based on self-assessment outcomes, future learning/development opportunities and identified goals”.
