| Sumario: | The purpose of this study is to focus on the development of the implementation of an ePortfolio in response to the use of the traditional portfolio that has become outdated because of the rapid evolution of technology but are still part of classrooms nowadays. The focal point is the constructivist approach, students’ active learning and their social interaction. The project scrutinizes how ePortfolios can help with reflections, it can also help with the learners’ autonomy and improve their knowledge. The implementation will be done in one month to be able to see the results, and information will be acquired continuously on Google Classroom, all through the development of the unit and later it will be used by the teacher as data to improve the learning process. The learners’ profile is as follows: a group of fifteen students of sixteen-to-seventeen-year-old students with a B2+ English level (eight boys and seven girls) in Asunción, Paraguay. Scaffolding is an important part of this study, teachers will provide guidance, tasks with clear objectives and different tools and materials that will help students to build up their autonomy in the learning process. The methodology will include different types of collaborative work, debates, brainstorming, oral presentation, educational flashcards, and writing exercises, always creating an environment where the learners feel motivated and where they can continue to build up their knowledge and feel safe. The study will also address the challenges and will give recommendations to overcome them. The assignments will be presented through a detailed and thorough presentation and guidelines, and the rubric will be explained in detail. The aim of this study is to show how an ePortfolio could help organize the different assignments and how it could aid the learning process through the various activities and the efficient use of feedback. |
