Abstract

This work shows the results found from administering three different surveys to University students: the Questionario sulle Strategie di Apprendimento (QSA-Pellerey, 1996); the Questionario sulla Percezione delle Competenze Strategiche (QPCS-Pellerey, 2010); the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI-Zimbardo and Boyd, 1999). It has been found that owning proper strategic
skills correlates positively with a balanced time perspective; on the contrary, those students who have inadequate strategic skills are usually prone to adopt a fatalistic perspective towards the present and a low orientation to the future.
Therefore, a narrative-diachronic perspective has been adopted in order to build an ePortfolio (Barret, 2004). The ePortfolio gathers all the information retrieved by using the above-mentioned surveys (QSA, QPCS and ZTPI), and enables you to reinterpret your own past experiences and project them into the future.
