The purpose of this study was to gather and investigate the perceptions of K-12 public school music teachers who have used portfolio-based evaluations in Tennessee. Research questions included: (1) What are the perceptions of music teachers in Tennessee who have used the Tennessee Fine Arts Portfolio Model? (2) Do differences in music teacher…

This paper will challenge readers to consider their approach to supporting academics who are writing a teaching portfolio. What comes first? The literature, collecting evidence or something else? In this reflection on practice, I offer an approach that centralises practice as the core focus for starting this process. Grounded in theoretical…

The skills and competencies of IT professionals are often described using employer-led skills frameworks. They express competencies as technical knowledge and skills combined with a range of personal qualities. Employers have indicated the importance of developing such qualities for new graduates. In response, recent ACM/IEEE curricular…

Intending to counteract Klein's second discontinuity in teacher education, we explored and applied the innovation of "interface ePortfolio" in the context of a geometry course for preservice teachers (PSTs). The tool offers the possibility of implementing the design principle of "profession orientation." In the article, we…

This study is focused on promoting self-reflection and self-regulation of learning through the use of digital tools to improve the academic performance of university students. Specifically, the main objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of collaborative ePortfolios on facilitating the comprehension of the concepts being studied. During…

The aim of the study is to explain the effect of portfolio use on the development of critical thinking strategies of pre-service teachers with different learning approaches. The study used a case study design. The sample consisted of 26 pre-service biology teachers. The Study Process Questionnaire developed by Biggs was used to determine the…

This research shows and analyses a pedagogical experience with ePortfolio into the bridge context between higher education and profession in Latin America, particularly Architectural Design Studio (ADS).

A problem with applications of innovations and technological tools such as the digital portfolio is that, while detailed conceptions and examples of digital portfolios exist, there is a chasm of practical advice that is sufficiently generic for guiding considerations on how to integrate digital portfolios into different learning environments. In…

To maximise the feedback effect, it is crucial to establish a dialogic feedback process between students and teachers. This can facilitate a mutually reinforcing cycle on each other's feedback practice and uncover unrealistic feedback expectations. In this article, we present a co-developed reflective ePortfolio platform designed to foster…

Research-intensive institutions rely on specialized central offices to support research administrators and investigators through various processes and requirements. This helps researchers successfully and compliantly conduct and manage research. However, when these support offices communicate their processes and resources from disparate locations,…

Electronic portfolios, also known as e-Portfolios, are commonplace in language education. While e-Portfolio research has evolved over the past two decades, not much is done to evaluate how this scholarship can inform effective language teaching and learning, especially in second language and English as a Foreign Language classroom contexts. This…
