What is the artefact?


There are different definitions for the artefact term.
According to Russell (2013), the artefact is defined as a tool that provides a starting point for teachers to critically on teaching practices and policies within a school context. It helps teachers to develop knowledge, competencies, talents and attributes that they believe should be represented in their professional portfolio. In my assessment, a suggestion is that the artefact should be approximately one A-4 page; it may consist of a description of a longer document, or be an extract from the document, and that is provided as an appendix. Each artefact should be clearly labelled and distinguished from the commentary that follows it. (Refer to the Subject outline - UTS Spring 2013).

In other's views, an artefact refers to a form of art that can be old or new; can be adapted from an existing such as tangible DVD, books, films, paintings sculptures, objects, clothes, murals, or natural objects and so forth. It is also intangible opinions, concerns/moods, or events, community activities, and so forth. An artifact may be defined as an object that has been intentionally made or produced for a certain purpose. More information has been informed in the:
