Abstract

In this paper, the author intends to explore what intrinsic factors could motivate students to create and use an ePortfolio. The author sets out to discern the students’ perceptions of their own performance and effort, as well as the value of ePortfolio through a survey adapted to the objectives of the research. The results of the survey carried out among 121 preschool and primary school education students will be analyzed. The results of this research suggest that the strongest impetus of intrinsic motivation, as indicated by our research, was an appreciation for the value and usefulness of the ePortfolio, followed by the students’ perception of competence. Besides, students are willing to use ePortfolios in the future.
