Abstract
Our main objective was to determine whether alternative methods to traditional teaching could favor an appropriate learning of a discipline’s contents in students. In an increasingly interdependent world, abilities related to teamwork that allow cooperative work with professionals from different disciplines become particularly important. This is a daily challenge for teachers, as they face the uncertainty and lack of control that characterizes a master class. However, the results of our experience seem to support the benefits of this kind of emerging methodologies. Thus, students who have developed the contents through tasks that let them get involved in the process of documentation, research and reflection on the content, and furthermore in preparing presentations and explaining to fellow multidisciplinary team members the lines to follow, have been more committed to and showed a greater internalization of learning.
