Abstract

Current essay contributes towards the evaluation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology as a didactic strategy in the formation of students capable of critical thought, collective social activities and social commitment. After analyzing the role of education within the context of social change, research highlights that PBL students experience politics, develop the critical sense and are aware of their reality. Through the solution of problems, a microcosm of real life, the students take a stance by refusing any fatalistic ideology of a reality that they know to be indeterminate and is capable of transformation through their own insertion in the world.
