Resumen

Se analiza la implementación del portafolio durante cuatro cursos (2006–2010) en una muestra de 480 estudiantes de Enfermería. La planificación incluye tres fases (iniciación, desarrollo y consolidación), y los objetivos son: 1) evaluar la eficacia del portafolio a través de un estudio cuantitativo, con un diseño ex post facto; y 2) analizar los puntos fuertes y débiles del proceso de implementación del portafolio, a través de un estudio cualitativo en el que se utilizan grupos de discusión a partir de tópicos.

Los resultados indican: 1) en la fase de iniciación la nota media de los estudiantes que elaboran el portafolio (7,78) es superior a la nota media de los que no lo) realizan (5,47) (p≤,001), y en las fases de desarrollo y consolidación se unifica cada vez más la nota del portafolio y la nota final de la asignatura; 2) el diseño final del portafolio se caracteriza por ser mixto (manual y electrónico), de diseño modular y autoreflexivo, empoderando al estudiante en el continuo del aprendizaje.

Abstract

The paper analyses the implementation of the portfolio over four academic years (2006–2010) in a sample of 480 nursing students. It was carried out in three phases (initiation, development, and consolidation), and its aims were: 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of the portfolio through a quantitative study with an ex post facto design, and 2) to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio implementation process through a qualitative study using topic-based focus groups.

The results indicate: 1) in the initiation phase, the average score of students who created the portfolio (7.78) is higher than the average score of those who did not do so (5.47) (p≤.001), and in the development and consolidation phases, the portfolio score and the subject grade come increasingly closer; and 2) the final portfolio design is characterized by being mixed (manual and electronic), modular, and self-reflective —empowering students in the learning continuum.
