This research objective is to analyze the students' perceptions regarding the use of an active methodology applied in a discipline of Major in Biological Sciences at UNIFEI. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach, based on Bardin's Content Analysis, to infer the answers to the questionnaire answered by the students after the intervention, based on a didactic sequence, which used the Problem-Based Learning methodology in the discipline Elements of Anatomy and Physiology. The students' perceptions indicate that the active methodology used favored a better understanding of the concepts, made possible from the mobilization of their previous knowledge, aroused greater student interest and motivation, promoted greater interaction, by providing opportunities for their more active participation and by presenting themselves as a theme related to the real-life context, as well as fomented greater reflection to problem solving. However, some difficulties were found in content understanding in the theoretical perspective and in terms of the didactic sequence approach.
