The implementation of the New Secondary School in public and private schools in Brazil
brought formative and evaluative changes in teaching. With regard to student assessments,
each school is responsible for defining the format it believes to be the most appropriate for its
educational institution. In this perspective, the use of portfolios as an evaluation tool stands
out. Thus, this research aims to analyze the use of the digital portfolio as a mathematical
assessment tool for New High School students. Therefore, it was necessary to establish some
specific objectives, namely, to investigate in the literature the benefits of applying the
portfolio as an evaluation instrument, to identify the perceptions of students in the 2nd year of
New High School, on the evaluation of the subject of Mathematics , through the digital
portfolio, analyze the evidence of learning in the digital portfolios delivered by the referred
students and present an overview of the potential of the portfolio in the assessment of
mathematics, for New High School students. It is worth mentioning that in order to achieve
this objective, the research corpus was also delimited, being carried out in a school unit of the
Social Service of Industry (SESI), therefore, the research participants were students of that
unit. As for the typology of the research, it is of an exploratory nature, with a descriptive
medium, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, regarding the technique used for data
collection was the questionnaire and for data analysis, a documental analysis of the portfolios
was carried out with criteria supported by the survey itself. of the scientific literature. The
results achieved refer to the evidence of learning identified in 10 portfolios analyzed along
with the students' perception, among which we can highlight the identification of the capacity
for reflection, self-regulation and problem solving. Finally, it is concluded that the digital
portfolio can be widely used for evaluating mathematics in basic education, as it brings the
possibility of evaluating students in a comprehensive way, in addition to enabling students to
learn meaningfully
