Career guidance through e-portfolio in elementary school

Bojana Breznikar, Osnovna šola 8 talcev Logatec

Program guidelines for the work of advisory services in the elementary school set a standard that advisory service takes at least two hours of lectures on the topic of career guidance in the final two classes. Quality decision-making process for the profession is based on two pillars: on one hand, the collection of information on the system of education and the professions, and on the other hand, a self knowledge – their interests, abilities, personality traits, and learning habits. In particular, a good understanding of yourself requires a lot more than two hours. How to solve this time disharmony? In this article I introduce possible way how to include hours of career guidance into eighth and ninth class through the use of e-portfolio. Further, sets out the advantages and challenges of the use of e-portfolio. The advantages of this tool, in my opinion, are: the possibility of planning, monitoring and self-assessment of pupils in the process of self-discovery, the increased probability of feedback from the school counselor, accessibility, how to use Europass. The challenge: how to transfer didactic view of content in e-environment, with limitations in the degree of ICT competences of school counselor.
