EAPRIL - European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning
Abstract
In this article we present and discuss some of the preliminary national results of the project “Empowering Eportfolio Process” (EEP), an Erasmus+ KA2 program. At this stage of the research, the Portuguese team of the College of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (ESE-IPS) will present some of the emerging ideas that have come to light from the first stage of the ongoing qualitative study, which is focused on the students’ perspectives on the use of ePortfolios — more specifically the students of the International Semester. We will discuss into what extent these practices can contribute to students’ empowerment and to develop transformative capabilities — such as autonomy, reflexivity, critical thought, creativity and cooperation, amongst others. We also intend to discuss these practices implications to Higher Education, particularly orienting the discussion to the scope of pedagogy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
