Abstract

Electronic portfolios have been widely accepted as the learning and assessment tool for enhancing language skills and competence in higher education. However, previous studies have not profoundly examined how e-portfolios with well-defined structure influences students’ engagement. More information on e-portfolios and engagement is also needed. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the well-structured e-portfolios on students’ engagement in learning activities as these activities consist of self-and peer-assessment. To serve this intention, an explanatory sequential mixed method with questionnaires and interviews was used to obtain data. The questionnaires and reflective notes were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the results of the interview were analyzed based on the qualitative thematic analysis technique. The findings show that there is no difference between EFL students’ perception and language skills. It was also indicated that self-assessment plays an essential role in engagement which informs constructs of e-portfolio. Further, a wider range of information on e-portfolio structure to deepen engagement was constructed. The conclusion profoundly informs and implicates instructional design and pedagogy in further study.
