Previous research showed that the quality of a portfolio does not depend on the medium used. In this article the perceived support for self reflection of an electronic portfolio and a paper based portfolio in the same ecological setting are compared. We made use of the fact that during this study about half of the first year medical students was using an electronic portfolio ( n = 157) and the other half a paper based portfolio ( n = 190) . Nine questions were added to the standard end of the block evaluation, which is handed to 25 percent of year one educational groups . Findings suggest that perceptions about the support for self reflection, and the usefulness of compiling a portfolio, do not differ between students using an electronic portfolio and students using a paper based portfolio .  \nRé sumé : Les portfolios électroniques offrent de nombreux avantages comparativement à leurs homologues de papier, entre autres la possibilit é de perfectionner les compétences liées aux TIC, d’ajouter des éléments multi médias et de partager plus facilement le portfolio .

Dans le pré sent article, nous comparons l’aide à l’autoréflexion perçue pour un portfolio électronique et un portfolio sur support papier dans le mê me envi ronnement. Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous avons profit é du fait qu’environ la moitié des étudiants de première anné e en médecine utilisait un portfolio électronique ( n = 157) et l’autre moitié , un portfolio sur support papier ( n = 190) . Neuf questions ont ét é ajouté es à l’évaluation normale remise à 25 pour cent des groupes de première anné e à la fin d u bloc de formation. Les ré sultats suggè rent que les perceptions des étudiants à l’é gard de l’aide à l’autoréflexion et de l’utilit é de compiler un portfolio ne diffèrent pas entre les utilisateurs de portfolios électroniques et les utilisateurs de portfolios sur support papier.  \nIntroduction  \nPortfolio based learning is being implemented more and more in a range of educational and professional learning contexts worldwide in order to monitor students ’ professional development. A portfolio is usually described as a collection of students ’ work and achievements during their academic career ( Challis, 1999; Chen, Yu & Chang, 2007) .  \nSpecifically in medical education and related fields, the portfolio is increasingly being used as an instrument to stimulate the professional growth of students ( Prop, Shacklady, Dornan & Driessen, 2007) .  \nIn today ’s highly digitalized world it is not unexpected to observe an increase in the use of ICT in higher education. For years the portfolio has also been moving in this direction, there is a noticeable shift from the use of paper based portfolios towards the use of electronic portfolios . When portfolios are introduced for the first time in an educational setting, the electronic, online version is most often the preferred choice ( Lambert & Corrin, 2006; Wade, Abrami & Sclater, 2005 ) ; as well established paper based portfolios are being replaced by digital ones ( Barlett & Sherry, 2004; Woodward & Bablo hy, 2004) . While the specific advantages depend on the ePortfolio system used, r","cbCaiozYAQvjPhAQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiozYAQvjPhAQ","pdf",324883,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Portfolio-based learning and ePortfolios\n## Rationale for comparing media types\n## Study approach and evaluation items","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of this study comparing portfolios?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares students’ perceived support for self reflection between electronic and paper-based portfolios in the same ecological setting.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students assigned to portfolio formats in this research?\",\"answer\":\"Approximately half of the first-year medical students used an electronic portfolio (n=157) and the other half used a paper-based portfolio (n=190).\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings about differences between ePortfolios and paper portfolios?\",\"answer\":\"Students’ perceptions of the support for self reflection and the usefulness of compiling a portfolio did not differ between the two groups.\"}]","Comparing students’ perceptions of paper based and electronic portfolios | PDF",1792085534]
