THE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSESSMENT IN PRE-SERVICE TEACHER PROGRAM: VIDEO AND E-PORTFOLIO
Tóm tắt
This paper addresses the challenges and opportunities while using digital artifacts like videos and e-portfolio as tools for assessment in pre-service teacher training programs. A case study was conducted at a hogeschool in Brussels. The aim was to explore how videos and e-portfolio are applied to assess student teachers’ performance and how beneficial or challenging these tools are if applied in the teaching and learning process. Semi-structured interviews and qualitative method were used to collect and analyze the data. The findings showed that although there was strong integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in the curriculum, particularly for assessment, the implementation of these tools was still hindered by the limited vision and belief of the teacher trainers. Based on the theoretical issues and the context of the case, suggestions were made with the intention to improve the implementation of ICT tools for assessment in pre-service teacher education.This paper addresses the challenges and opportunities while using digital artifacts like videos and e-portfolio as tools for assessment in pre-service teacher training programs.
