Abstract

This systematic literature review synthesized empirical quantitative and qualitative studies published in 2004-2013 that examined the impact of e-portfolios on student academic motivation, self-regulation, and performance. Peer-reviewed publications that focused on electronic, digital, web or online portfolios were examined and coded using Motivational Strategies and Learning Strategies (Pintrich & De Groot, 1990) as a framework. Findings suggest: 1) Both the process and product portfolios were associated with motivation and self-regulation. 2) Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of e-portfolios for increasing learning strategies, motivation strategies, academic achievement, and technical aptitude. 3) E-portfolios must be student-centered, offer some user control, and require full commitment and planning. This review provides evidence that e-portfolios can have an impact on self-regulation and academic performance at the K-12 level.
