Self-regulated learning and ePEARL : a brief report on the 2018 feasibility study

Abstract

Given the lack of locally designed pedagogical interventions that target the development of self-directed individuals, this educational research study was designed to explore the feasibility and impact of using an electronic learning process portfolio with Kenyan secondary students. Electronic Portfolio Encouraging Active and Reflective Learning (ePEARL) is a student-centred digital portfolio that supports the cyclical phases of self-regulation including forethought, performance and self-reflection. Findings suggest benefits of the programme, including exam scores analysis which reveal that gains were higher than in those classes where the use of ePEARL was scarce.
