Using E-Portfolios as an Assessment Instrument within the StudyProgramme “Problem-Solving Competencies

Presented by: Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstad

This paper describes how the extra-curricular project activities of students in informal communities of practice can be embedded into the formal curriculum of higher education via e-portfolios. First we introduce the context of our case study and outline the didactic concept of a study program that aims at fostering key competencies. We then go on to explain the purpose of the portfolio approach within this study program. We present the software tool “e³-portfolio” and illustrate its application by a brief user scenario. Afterwards we argue how our portfolio approach combines reflection on experience and the assessment of learning. We show how we scaffold the student’s reflection process, how we assess the extra-curricular activities in the project groups and explain the assessment criteria and feedback processes that are employed.

Las comunidades de práctica pueden integrarse en el plan de estudios formal de la educación superior a través de carteras electrónicas. Primero presentamos el contexto de nuestro estudio de caso y esbozamos el concepto didáctico de un programa de estudios que tiene como objetivo fomentar las competencias clave. Luego pasamos a explicar el propósito del enfoque de cartera dentro de este programa de estudios. Presentamos la herramienta de software “e³-portfolio” e ilustrar su aplicación mediante un breve escenario de usuario. Luego discutimos cómo nuestro enfoque de cartera combina la reflexión sobre la experiencia y la evaluación del aprendizaje. Nosotros mostrar cómo apoyamos el proceso de reflexión del estudiante, cómo evaluamos las actividades extracurriculares actividades en los grupos del proyecto y explicar los criterios de evaluación y los procesos de retroalimentación que estan empleados.
