SATISFACTION OF FUTURE ENGINEERING TEACHERS WITH THE USE OF THE ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIO IN THE PEDAGOGICAL DISCIPLINES

Abstract

The use of an e-portfolio as an assessment modality in e-distance learning is a response to recent developments in higher education where assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. The present study aims to determine the level of student satisfaction with the use of the e-portfolio in the study of pedagogical disciplines and to reveal changes according to the identified variables. As a sample of this study, 123 students from UTCN enrolled in the psycho-pedagogical module in the initial teacher training were selected. From the closed items, it was confirmed that the students' satisfaction in using the e-portfolio was at a high level, that a complex portfolio is a relevant method for evaluating students' knowledge and skills, it promotes active and collaborative learning, the platform offers sufficient resources, and it is easy to use for carrying out the activities. There were no significant differences regarding gender, faculty profile, year of study and previous experience of students in using the e-portfolio. Various suggestions were made for future studies to create more effective online and hybrid learning environments in the training of future engineering teachers.
