Abstract
Technology has become an essential part of education by enhancing the process of teaching, learning and assessment. Students are expected to be conversant with the use of technology in school, as such teachers are also expected to demonstrate competency in technology usage. In line with the prevalent use of technology in education, this study introduced the use of e-Portfolio in a teacher education programmed at a public university in Malaysia, focusing on the practicum phase. The e-Portfolio was named PRO folio (short for professional e-Portfolio) and was employed by undergraduates and lecturers from the Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) programmed. The undergraduates were also pre-service teachers, and their role was to upload their practicum materials onto their individual PRO folio. On the other hand, the lecturers provided feedback regarding the work that the undergraduates posted. After the completion of practicum, qualitative data collection was collected through semi-structured interviews that involved a total of three lecturers who volunteered for the interview. Purposive sampling was employed by selecting only the TESL lecturers who supervised the undergraduates and used the PRO folio. The data were imported to NVivo 12, and thematic analysis was employed to analyses the data. The findings revealed that the use of PRO folio contributed to an enhanced practicum experience for the lecturers and pre-service teachers. The study demonstrated that the use of technology in teacher education programmed can contribute positively to the learning experiences of pre-service teachers.
