Sumario:This paper presents the results of a qualitative research study entitled “The portfolio as an innovative resource for assessing and improving university education,” which took place in a public university located in Mexico City. The main objective of the paper is to present the type of reflection and self-assessment processes that resulted from the teachers building their own portfolios. Among other issues, the paper covers the steps followed in the design of the portfolios, along with the form in which the workshop on individual portfolio design was implemented for each of the participants involved. The theoretical assumptions upon which the work was based are defined and certain findings associated with the thought processes undertaken by the teaching staff —with regard to the self-assessment process— are covered, along with the resulting changes implemented with a view to improving their work.
