Manual para la elaboración del portafolio de culminación de estudios

Due to the need to guide students and faculty in the Bachelor of Primary Education and Bachelor of Preschool Education programs at the University of Las Tunas in the design, selection, development, improvement, and presentation of portfolios as a means of culminating their studies, a review and analysis of research related to portfolios as an assessment tool was conducted, along with professional discussions and a methodological and scientific study at the departmental and program levels. This effort aimed to address this need, leading to the development of a manual with methodological and practical guidelines, which is included in this article. This manual establishes the rationale for using the portfolio as a culminating document, identifies the necessary elements for its application, and presents, in a didactic and detailed manner, the phases established for its implementation. These phases take into account the general objectives of the professional model, the work that will be presented as evidence of the degree of fulfillment of these objectives, and the professional problems that the portfolio aims to address.
