Research on electronic learning portfolio in China: Status and trends

Focusing on domestic research status, this paper investigated into academic articles that published in the past eight years in Mainland China and tried to find out the growing trends of research on electronic learning portfolio. It is found that scholars from more than ten fields are showing increasing interest and experts from these two domains have issued the most papers: software and application of computer, educational theory and management. The number of Master thesis on electronic learning portfolio, which to some extent represents systematic researches, is also rising up recent years. However, problems are also discovered: many of the domestic researches tended to adopt pure qualitative research method, which occupied 67% of the sample articles in this paper. Therefore, more quantitative researches are wanted to study the electronic learning portfolio thoroughly.
