Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions within higher education are under scrutiny for inadequately preparing students for the challenges of a global economy and workforce. Employers are concerned that college graduates are lacking the 21st century skills and the necessary competencies needed to be successful upon entering the workforce. In addition, under- and unemployment rates for college graduates are notable since the 2001 recession. As a result, students are seeking additional ways to distinguish themselves to hiring managers. If employers desire evidence that graduates are prepared to enter the workforce, and students wish to showcase their academic and professional attributes to hiring managers, educators should explore ways to meet these demands. Developing career electronic portfolios, or ePortfolios, might address both of these needs. Career ePortfolios are websites that present the highlights of students’ academic and professional work through a more comprehensive medium than a traditional résumé. These websites can be made available to employers and graduate admissions committees to assess students’ preparedness for positions. The primary purpose of the present study was to learn how those with hiring authority perceive and might utilize student ePortfolios. It is unclear if companies are integrating this tool into their decision-making, and if they are reviewing ePortfolios, how this tool influences their judgments. Many of the studies previously conducted regarding the impact of ePortfolios on employability lacked specifics on how employers would use these websites. This study evaluated employers’ perceived value of using ePortfolios for the employment process by working from Fowler’s (2012) study on ePortfolios. Fowler interviewed employers from the manufacturing and services sectors to investigate whether ePortfolios were advantageous to their pre-employment screening process. The present study explored some of the questions raised by Fowler, but focused on an entirely separate field—the engineering employment sector. In addition, the present study focused on the potential of using ePortfolios in all stages of the candidate screening and evaluation process. To address the research questions raised within this qualitative study, hiring managers, human resources directors, and recruiters from the engineering sector reviewed an Engineering Student’s ePortfolio. The participants were interviewed to solicit their feedback on the ePortfolio viewed. The researcher garnered their perceptions of the potential for using ePortfolios within their hiring process. The researcher analyzed the advantages and disadvantages associated with using an ePortfolio over that of traditional candidate screening and evaluation methods. Those interviewed cited specific strengths of using an ePortfolio as the ability to (1) differentiate a candidate, (2) assess potential fit and future with a company, and (3) encapsulate a candidate’s traditional application materials and online media within one website. The possible drawbacks raised by the participants included a (1) duplication of efforts for the candidate and employer, (2) too much information presented to the employer, and (3) the tool being unsuccessfully introduced into the hiring process, particularly during the initial screening of candidates. The culmination of the project resulted in the researcher presenting essential criteria for engineering students to include when creating ePortfolios based upon the findings from this investigation.

Book Synopsis Teacher Candidate Perceptions of Electronic Portfolios by : William M. Baronak
Download or read book Teacher Candidate Perceptions of Electronic Portfolios written by William M. Baronak and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many students in higher education are considered digital natives--savvier and more experienced with technology than students in the past. In teacher preparation programs, teacher education students are commonly expected to demonstrate achievement of program goals and objectives and national teaching standards in a "portfolio." Gaining in popularity, the electronic portfolio delivers meaningful rich data in an electronic format. Much of the research on electronic portfolios has centered in higher education and has been primarily focused on the delivery of portfolios from the perspective of faculty and on the role of the portfolio in assessment from an administrative perspective. With limited research on the student voice in the process of the creation and implementation of electronic portfolio, this research studied the perceptions of the electronic portfolio from the end-user, recent graduates in teacher education. Using a qualitative framework, recent graduates from a teacher preparation program were interviewed regarding their electronic portfolio experience. Qualitative data were collected via structured interviews on the process, preparation, and utilization of the electronic portfolio during the teacher education program. Additionally, the electronic portfolios of those interviewed provided document analysis. Several themes emerged that centered on the repetitive narrative of the narrative rationale statements, the utilitarian purposes of the portfolio, the impact of the portfolio assessment on portfolio changes, and the reflective nature of portfolio construction. The implications of this research extend to the use of electronic portfolios in higher education across disciplines and into k-12 education.

Book excerpt: Higher education institutions of all kinds—across the United States and around the world—have rapidly expanded the use of electronic portfolios in a broad range of applications including general education, the major, personal planning, freshman learning communities, advising, assessing, and career planning.Widespread use creates an urgent need to evaluate the implementation and impact of eportfolios. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the contributors to this book—all of whom have been engaged with the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research—have undertaken research on how eportfolios influence learning and the learning environment for students, faculty members, and institutions.This book features emergent results of studies from 20 institutions that have examined effects on student reflection, integrative learning, establishing identity, organizational learning, and designs for learning supported by technology. It also describes how institutions have responded to multiple challenges in eportfolio development, from engaging faculty to going to scale. These studies exemplify how eportfolios can spark disciplinary identity, increase retention, address accountability, improve writing, and contribute to accreditation. The chapters demonstrate the applications of eportfolios at community colleges, small private colleges, comprehensive universities, research universities, and a state system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Portfolio Construction: A Guide for Showcasing Social Work Skills guides students through the process of compiling a digital portfolio--a collection of artifacts that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and competencies they have mastered and articulates all they have learned throughout their social work program. The first part of the text focuses on constructing a digital portfolio, which includes the processes of gathering, selecting, reflecting, and sharing assignments and artifacts. In the later chapters, readers gain a greater understanding of the connection between what they learn within their courses and the social work competencies that are the hallmark of the profession. Recognizing that the construction and presentation of a digital portfolio requires active engagement and collaboration between students, faculty, and administration, two valuable appendices provide teaching suggestions for social work instructors and describe the programmatic and administrative contexts necessary to support the successful compilation of a digital portfolio and its use as a program outcome measure. Developed to help future practitioners increase their competence and confidence in presenting their knowledge and skills, Digital Portfolio Construction is a guide that can be integrated within social work curriculum and programs, or leveraged as a tool for independent study. Watch author Dale K. Fitch introduce Digital Portfolio Construction and speak to the how the text can help students recognize and reflect upon the competencies they acquire as they progress through their social work program. Watch Samantha Brown, M.S.W. speak to the importance of social work portfolios and how building a portfolio has been instrumental in her job search and professional networking.
