Soler Costa, Rebeca (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Soler Santaliestra, Juan Ramón (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: No doubt, the students’ diversity in each compulsory educational stage requires specific measures to be implemented. Due to the dissemination of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) worldwide, teachers and counsellors can use these technological resources to help students’ learning disabilities. Technological achievements may be useful in psychological counselling. Training coordinators, who carry out counselling, can make use of these technological resources to offer students support in their life-long learning process. In this article the authors try to examine how ICT & VLE can help when developing counselling in Secondary Education in Spain. This paper shows the results obtained through a multiple case study conducted in 10 High Schools, assuming quantitative and qualitative methodology. The results indicate the e-portfolio has proof to be an effective tool allowing the assessment of the students’ teaching-learning processes, helping in the process of guidance and school counselling.
