Abstract
This paper aims to study the portfolio as a reflexive instrument of teaching-learning, regarding the increment of active methodologies and the implementation of procedural/qualitative practices, in health professional education focused on Unified Health System-SUS. Such practice was introduced in the Speech-Language Pathology course for four consecutive years. It is an innovative approach both on the level of the present course and on national level. The portfolios from the first group of students in which the portfolio was introduced were analyzed, and 24 written reports about this process were collected. The results show the contribution of the portfolio as a methodology that provides a more active participation of the subjects. Most students indicated positive impressions of the portfolio as a reflexive instrument that enabled them to express their ideas. The portfolio is shown to be a relevant tool in educational practices for health and humanized professional development.
