What is a portfolio?

According to Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, "a thin flat case used for carrying documents, drawings, etc." which means a case for carrying paper, etc.
Quote.Oxford Learner's Dictionaries
Originally, it was used as something to hold paper between, but when painters and others started using it to carry around their works, it came to mean a person's past works or collection of works in the field of design.
In the field of finance, the term "portfolio" came into use because in the past, securities were often kept in paper scissors.
And in the field of education.

　The portfolio evaluation method is a kind of performance evaluation, and the term "portfolio" originally referred to the paper scissors, or files and scrapbooks, used by painters, architects, newspaper reporters, and other professionals to sell themselves to employers. For example, if you are a painter, you bind your representative works, leaflets of your solo exhibitions, and criticisms in newspapers. By looking at them, the painter's ability, painting style, and even social reputation can be clearly seen.
　In the portfolio assessment method, learners (students, pupils, and students) systematically accumulate their work, records of self-assessment, and records of teachers' instruction and assessment, and edit them from time to time and interact with them using the portfolio. By doing so, learners are encouraged to self-evaluate their own learning, and teachers are also encouraged to evaluate learners' learning activities and their own educational activities.
