Port. de Educação [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.2, e23038.  Epub 02-Nov-2023. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.25193.

The aim of this article is to analyze the perception of medical students about the use of active methodologies in their academic education. This is a qualitative study, using an online questionnaire, with the participation of 140 students from a Brazilian federal university. The results reveal that, for most students, the active methodologies constitute an innovative experience that requires an initial adaptation period, but that is capable of effectively contributing to the learning and critical formation of the subjects, preparing them in an adequate form for professional performance. As main advantages of these methodologies, students highlighted the ability to stimulate self-study, the development of a critical-reflective subject and the dynamism of the educational process; and as weaknesses: the demand for student maturity; gaps in the teaching process; lack of support in the adaptation process and insecurity regarding learning. Listening to students revealed the need for epistemological changes in relation to the attitudes of all subjects in the teaching-learning process, requiring permanent reflection and criticism of educational practice for its improvement.
