The authors of this article are part of the E-portfolios in Higher Education Interest Group (Grupo de Interés de Carpetas de Aprendizaje en Educación Superior; GI-CAES) of the Unit of Educational Innovation in Higher Education (IDES) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). This group is structured as a reflection and research platform about the educational innovation of the portfolios’ use in the processes of teaching-learning in the university training. Within the frame that the state net “Red Portfolio Electrónico” (E-Portfolio Net) offers, the group GI-CAES together with teachers of the University of the País Vasco (UPV-EHU), they have proposed to analyze the digital narratives that the students and the teaching staff construct about the use of the e-portfolios. Mainly, focusing on the analysis of the orientation, reflections and proposals made to improve the educational quality of the learning and the use of the technologies. During the last two courses, the opinions of the students (through a questionnaire and several interviews recorded on video) and the teachers’ voices of several degrees qualifications of the Faculty of Sciences of Education of the UAB, have been collected. These narratives focus on the description and appraisal of the design, elaboration, evaluation and presentation of the portfolios. The information collected has allowed to describe and to interpret the e-portfolios from the construction of the index, the use of technologies, the selection of the evidences, the forms of understanding, the levels of reflection and the evaluation. The reconstruction of the students’ and the teachers’ voices show the complexity and the diversity of the processes of teaching-learning. This article pretends to discuss the results obtained about the innovation from the representations analyzed of the student’s voices. We will focus on the processes of understanding and production in the development of the portfolios.Downloads
