Abstract

Objective: To identify scientific evidence, strengths and weaknesses in the use of ProjectBased Learning (PBL) as an active methodology in the teaching-learning process of undergraduate students in the health area. Methods: Integrative literature review in theScientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Pubmed and Lilacs databases. The search wascarried out in July 2023, using controlled descriptors (DeCS/Mesh) to ensure a broad search.Results: The final sample consisted of 5 articles, which described the strengths andweaknesses of ABPj. As potentialities, we highlight the following: providing the developmentof problem-solving and communication skills, critical thinking, conflict management andprofessionalism. As weaknesses, note: lack of time and training of teachers to implementABPj. Final considerations: ABPj can be understood as an effective methodology forcontemporary training in health courses, considering that it enables teamwork, as well as theacquisition of fundamental skills and abilities for graduates of this area.
