Reflective practice is a key competence for learning and training, as it promotes critical analysis and professional development. It is not limited to self-analysis but integrates theory and practice to generate educational innovations. The e-portfolio is ideal for promoting reflexivity and transversal skills, documenting progress, and encouraging autonomy. In this context, the Mahara platform stands out for its flexibility and customization, enhancing learning and self-assessment in collaborative environments. However, a sustainable use of such tools requires a cultural change, which integrates technology and reflexivity as educational pillars, thus improving teaching effectiveness and personal growth.
