In the study, it was aimed to examine the views of primary school teachers about electronic portfolio (e-portfolio). The purpose of the research was to seek answers to such questions; "what is the awareness of primary school teachers about eportfolio?", "what are the views of primary school teachers about the functions of eportfolio?" and "what are the views of primary school teachers towards the outcomes of the e-portfolio?" "Case study", one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. In the study, typical case sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used to determine the participants. Based on the typical case sampling, 20 teachers who were Primary school teachers in one of the schools located in the city center of Ankara and İstanbul participated in the study on the basis of volunteering and also these schools did not exhibit any unusual feature. A standartized open ended interview form was prepared to collect the data of the research. In the research, 15 interview questions were used. Content analysis, which is one of the commonly used methods in qualitative research, was taken as the basis in the analysis of the data. In addition, the statements of the participants were quoted in terms of the objectivity of the study and the revival of the reader. As a result, when the codes emerging under the theme of teachers' awareness of using e-portfolio are examined, it is revealed that teachers' awareness is high. However, it was seen that some of them did not know about the use of e-pertfolio and did not consider themselves sufficient. When the teachers' views about the functions of the e-portfolio and the codes that emerged under these views were analyzed, they said that eportfolio has many aspects different from other methods and its advantages are more than its disadvantages. Finally, when the teachers' views about e-portfolio's outputs and the codes under the views are examined, it is seen that they think that they will contribute to the students in many dimensions and fields. This shows that teachers' views towards using e-portfolios are generally positive and there is no obstacle to use them when they have sufficient infrastructure and equipment.

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of e-portfolio application on reflective thinking and learning motivation of primary school teacher candidates. The study group of the research consists of primary school teacher candidates studying in the 3rd year of the Faculty of Education of a state university in Ankara. In the research, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used. Quantitative data of the study were collected using the Learning motivation scale, Reflective thinking scale and Performance tasks and independent samples t-test, two-factor ANOVA for mixed designs and Mann Whitney U-Test were used in the analysis of quantitative data. The qualitative data of the study were collected by applying a semi-structured interview form to the primary school teacher candidates in the experimental group through the interview technique. In addition, content analysis method was used in the analysis of qualitative data. When the results obtained from the research were examined, it was seen that there was a significant difference in favour of the experimental group in terms of reflective thinking post-test mean scores. Moreover, when the significance of the difference between the post-test mean scores in terms of learning motivation was examined, it was seen that there was a significant difference in favour of the experimental group. It was determined that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in favour of the experimental group in terms of the performance tasks administered to the primary school teacher candidates. As a result, it was concluded that e-portfolio applications have a positive effect on reflective thinking, learning motivation and performance tasks of primary school teacher candidates.

Bu araştırmada STEM etkinliklerinin uygulanması sürecinde elektronik portfolyo kullanımının akademik başarıya ve STEM tutumuna etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2019-2020 öğretim yılının bahar döneminde sekizinci sınıfa giden 44 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında STEM tutum ölçeği ve akademik başarı testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analiz edilmesinde parametrik olmayan testlerden Mann Whitney U ve Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, elektronik portfolyo kullanımının öğrencilerin fen bilimleri dersi akademik başarıları ve STEM tutumları üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte araştırmaya katılan sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin cinsiyetlerine göre STEM tutumları ve akademik başarıları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Gelişen teknolojik altyapı, Fırsatları Artırma Teknolojiyi İyileştirme (FATİH) projesi ve eğitim Bilişim Ağı kapsamında elektronik portfolyo kullanımının akademik başarıyı ve STEM tutumuna olumlu etki ettiği söylenebilir. Ayrıca elektronik portfolyo kullanımı ile STEM etkinliklerinin toplanması, saklanması ve takip edilmesinin daha kolay olacağı söylenebilir.
