Abstract

Electronic portfolios have been hailed as a useful pedological tool on numerous grounds. One commonly cited justification is that portfolios deepen student learning and help students develop a professional identity. Whether electronic portfolios are used equally across programs and the degree to which they promote digital identities across student groups remains open to question. To fill this void in the research, in this study we explore the degree to which students from three majors (cybersecurity, leadership, and criminal justice) report using electronic portfolios, with a specific focus given to the reported strengths of electronic portfolios and the way the tool shaped digital identity development.

摘要

电子档案袋在许多方面都被誉为有用的土壤学工具。一个普遍被引用的理由是，作品集加深了学生的学习并帮助学生建立了职业认同。电子档案袋是否在各个项目中得到平等使用，以及它们在多大程度上促进学生群体的数字身份仍有待商榷。为了填补研究中的这一空白，在本研究中，我们探讨了来自三个专业（网络安全、领导力和刑事司法）的学生使用电子档案的程度，并特别关注了电子档案的报告优势和方式该工具塑造了数字身份的发展。
