• Abstract:

  It is known that for the development of a successful career of professional of any Science Degree it is essential to be able to handle and solve complex circumstances with the knowledge, skills and competences acquired during the years of university training. If we accept that learning is the result only of what students do and think, we come to the conclusion that it can only be achieved through many hours of laboratory practice.
  Among the different active methodologies and different from the classic lectures, PBL, problem-based learning, and TBL, team-based learning, have been used successfully in the first courses of the Biochemistry and Bioinformatics degrees. This has provided our students with a higher level of knowledge that has translated into a greater ability to solve problems, analyze data and, very importantly, think critically.
  This paper will present and discuss, with the participation of the students themselves, the application of these methodologies, which are   causing an intense transformation in university education.
