Managing time through a self-regulated oriented ePortfolio for undergraduate students

Abstract

A self-regulated oriented ePortfolio as a dynamic social networking tool, orchestrated along the processes of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) with career management skills was designed. The aim of this study is to examine how time management can be positively influenced through the implementation of the ePortfolio. We conducted a quasi-experimental research with comparison groups in pre/post-tests in order to examine time management as a behavioral selfregulatory process for academic performance. The findings revealed that students tend to manage time effectively, make schedules and allocate time after the completion of the ePortfolio. Further research should measure students’ SRL and the relations among cognitive, affective, behavior and context processes.
