目的
本研究的目的是调查教职员和学生对采用电子档案袋来支持个人发展规划概念的态度。这项研究比较了英国一所高等教育机构(HEI)的教职员工和学生对电子公文包是否支持PDP的看法和意见。
设计/方法/方法
本研究采用案例研究的方法，从苏格兰西部四所不同大学的460名学生和182名讲师的两次调查中收集了经验数据。
发现
调查结果显示，本研究所使用的收集学生及教职员工态度信息的框架是有效的，值得进一步研究，以便更广泛地调查高校内PDP电子档案袋的使用情况。
研究限制/影响
这项研究只在一所英国高等学校进行，所以在研究的这个阶段，很难评估这些发现的普遍性。
实际含义
这项研究为正在考虑在教育背景下使用电子档案袋的教育工作者提供了有用的经验证据。例如，本文中确定的学生和教职员工的观点可以帮助教育工作者了解一些可能影响在高等教育中使用电子档案袋支持PDP的问题。
原创性/价值
据作者所知，这是第一部关于学生和讲师对使用电子档案袋来支持和促进PDP的态度的调查数据。
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the attitudes of staff and students towards adopting the use of e-portfolios for the purposes of supporting the concept of personal development planning (PDP). The study compares and contrasts the views and opinions of staff and students at one UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) about whether e-portfolios can support PDP.
Design/methodology/approach
Adopting a case study approach, this study presents empirical data gathered from two surveys involving 460 students and 182 lecturers from one UK HEI, collected from four different campuses across the West of Scotland.
Findings
The results of the surveys showed that the framework the authors used in the research to collect information about students and staffs attitudes was effective and that further research is merited for a more extensive investigation into PDP e-portfolio usage within HEI.
Research limitations/implications
The research was conducted at only one UK HEI so at this stage of the research, it is difficult to assess how generalisable the findings are.
Practical implications
This study provides useful empirical evidence to educators who may be considering employing e-portfolios within an educational context. For example, the views of students and staff identified in this paper can aid towards informing educators about some of the issues that might impact on using e-portfolios for supporting PDP in higher education.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work that presents survey data on both students’ and lecturers’ attitudes towards e-portfolio use to support and facilitate PDP.
