Share Paper: A Case Study of the Teacher Education Faculty’s Perception of the E-folio Program at a Private Central Texas University

1. Shannon Trimble, University of Central Arkansas, United States

Abstract: The qualitative case study approach investigated the perceptions that Teacher Education Faculty (TEF) developed as a result of using the electronic portfolio, or eFolio, in the teacher education program at the institution studied. The mixed method study used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis procedures. The study contributed to the emerging body of research concerning the use of the eFolio in teacher education programs. As the use technology continues to grow in teacher preparation programs, the eFolio will take the place of the traditional hard copy portfolio for candidate assessment, technology integration, and program accreditation.
