Fostering Self-Determined Behaviors through ePortfolios:
A student-driven eportfolio initiative and study
“To be self-determined is to endorse one’s actions at the highest level of reflection. When one is self-determined, people experience a sense of freedom to do what is interesting, personally important, and vitalizing.”
-Ryan and Deci www.psych.rochester.edu/SDT/

Autonomous Behavior
To be autonomous means to act in accord with one’s self
Autonomous Behavior
It means feeling free and volitional in one’s actions.
Autonomous Behavior
When autonomous, people are fully willing to do what they are doing.
Autonomous Behavior
They embrace the activity with a sense of interest and commitment.
Autonomous Behavior
Their actions emanate from their true sense of self
Autonomous Behavior
so they are being authentic.
Controlled Behavior
When controlled, people act without a sense of personal endorsement.
Controlled Behavior
Their behavior is not an expression of the self for it is subjugated to the controls.
Controlled Behavior
In this condition, people can reasonably be described as alienated.
Autonomous = AuthenticityControlled = Alienation

• natural, unstructured formation of student community and collaboration
Stony Brook Study
• Do authentic learning methods
facilitated through the use of eportfolios have a positive impact on student self-determined behaviors?
Methods of Measurement
• Pre and Post test measuring self-determined behaviors
• Intensity, Frequency and Duration rubric measuring eportfolio activity
• Student interviews and focus groups
Student ePortfolio Consultants lead the drive to teach students and faculty about the importance of reflection in the eportfolio learning process.

As I begin to work on my ePortfolio I began to understand how this could be beneficial to anyone. An ePortfolio is a living showcase of your work. It is an easy way to store all your projects and showcase them for others to see. It also gives a personal touch that something like a resume can't. ePortfolios allow you to elaborate extensively on what work you have done including writing reflections on what you did. You can also display class projects and things you have written.
