A1 Rubio Alcalá, Fernando David
AB There is a significant world-wide apprehension concerning perceived deficiencies inuniversity students’ performance and a resulting decrease of knowledge level andcompetency development. This paper analyses the benefits of using a portfolio as a means ofevaluating student progress and the beliefs from which students draw their learning andmotivation, a key issue for the incorporation of former curricular elements into the EuropeanSpace for Higher Education consolidation process. Two studies conducted at twouniversities in Spain to explore students’ opinions of portfolio use surprisingly revealed thatstudents found effort and daily work as the main beneficial aspects for their learning andmotivation. Successful replication of this study in diverse contexts would imply thatportfolio implementation can be a powerful instrument to empower students’ motivation tolearn. Other results related to portfolio use will also be discussed.
