Centrándonos en el aprendizaje más que en la evaluación mediante portafolios digitales en Educación Superior

Abstract

The study analyzes how students relate to their own learning process in situations mediated by digital portfolios in the university context. The framework of the study is the implementation of the portfolio under pedagogical criteria and the use of a platform, Digital Folder, according to them. The research use pretest-postest technique using a questionnaire before and after the didactic treatment mediated by digital portfolios. The questionnaire, called R-SPQ-2F, allows us to know the learning approaches of the students (Biggs, Kember & Leung, 2001). This means that we can assess to what extent students are involved with their learning process. The authors differentiate between a deep approach and a superficial approach in two dimensions: motivation and strategies, although in higher education it is recommended to measure the intensity in which the students are located. The participants are 148 students from the Universitat de Barcelona and Universidad Catolica de Temuco, who improve their intensity in deep approaches to learning, modifying strategies more than motivation.
