Reflective e-Portfolio: Results of a Pilot Project

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the deployment of a Reflective e-Portfolio (REP) for Professional Practice (PP) activities, which activities occur on and off the campus. For the prototype evaluation, the e-Portfolio was installed on netbooks and used for five months by a group of students and a facilitator of the first cycle of the Educational Unit of Professional Practice (EUPP) of the UFSCar Medicine Course. The study involved the following steps: survey to establish the requirements, design and implementation of the prototype, and evaluation of the prototype. The evaluation consisted of an investigation with the application of two questionnaires and local observations conducted during that period. The results showed that most students prefer to use the REP in the internal and group activities, but prefer to use paper for patient care, and that hardware and software characteristics of the access device as well as the different environments of use influence this preference.
