dc.description.abstractProblem-based learning using authentic material from the web was used to teach metabolism in a biochemistrycourse. In place of traditional lectures, students’ analyzed health or nutrition articles from newspapers and magazines,which were debatable from a scientific point of view, following the principles of problem-based learning. A mixedmethod was used to assess the students’ perception, use of sources of information and web services while performingthe task, and changes in self-directed learning. Students’ perception was particularly positive. The majority stated thatthe methodology helped them to apply knowledge to real life and that they learned about the topic analyzed bytheir group. The perception that problem-based learning promotes the ability to solve problems, critical thinking, andcollaborative work is noteworthy. Tutors considered that teams identified the problem and concluded correctly, noticingstudents’ enthusiasm and motivation. The methodology also promoted scientific reading. More importantly, a significantimprovement in self-directed learning of the 2014 cohort was detected. This intervention suggests that this methodologyis a valuable alternative to motive and promote self-learning; representing an opportunity to shift the focus of instructionfrom the teacher to the student. The design of the activity and materials are described in detail. Also, limitations andsolutions are discussedes
