Implementation of portfolio as a teaching tool in higher education: literature review

The present study is developed from the documentary research approach and presents a bibliographic review focused on portfolio analysis and its implementation as a didactic tool in the context of high-school education. Methodologically, three phases were developed in which the primary and secondary sources of information were identified, the analysis of the information was carried out using the content analysis technique and the theoretical assumptions were established that allowed to make categorical interpretations and affirmations according to the determined objectives. Finally, the research concludes that the literature review shows a broad support in the application of the portfolio from a practical perspective to take control and autonomy of appropriation of the process of teaching, learning and evaluation of student performance.
