Abstract:
In the digital age, the integration of technology in education has transformed
how students submit assignments, with e-portfolios emerging as a dynamic
platform. E-portfolios offer students a personalized digital space to document
their learning progress, showcase achievements, and engage in reflective
practice. This study explores the perceptions of English student teachers
regarding the use of e-portfolios in a reflective practice project. Utilizing a
qualitative approach, both questionnaires and interview data were collected
with 14 students. The findings reveal that students perceive e-portfolios as
beneficial for tracking their growth, visualizing progress, and supporting
reflective learning. Despite these benefits, challenges such as technical
difficulties and time constraints were also noted. The study highlights the
significance of e-portfolios as an alternative assessment tool and emphasizes
their role in enhancing self-reflection and professional growth. However,
addressing technical issues and time management is crucial for maximizing
the potential of e-portfolios in education.
