Implementation of E-portfolio Assessment in Hong Kong: Preliminary Findings

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the preliminary findings of a qualitative research of the implementation of e-portfolio as sessment in Hong Kong schools. The ten teachers interviewed reveal ed that e-portfolio assessment is an instrument that allows students to understand their learning progress and growth. It requires time to accomplish, and considering that the learning activity is carried out in a short period , the method turns out to be a way of piling up files. It also serves as a reference to show students‟ performance when they apply for quota in secondary school . The culture of compil ing actively using e-portfolio has not been formed , and the use of e -portfolio as an assessment tool has not been realized .
