To this end, it proposes a new way of teaching that integrates various media, the curriculum and pedagogical practice, based on the Constructivist perspective, aiming to strengthen the student's protagonism and form critical and participatory citizens, capable of solving problems in collaboration with their peers. The importance of active learning methodologies is highlighted, such as Project-Based Learning (ABProj.), which places the student at the center of the educational process, encouraging their active participation, critical reflection and resolution of real problems. A ABProj. It allows the integration of different disciplines in a project, enhancing the student's knowledge and developing skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, time management and articulation of different contents. The profile of the teacher who teaches through projects must be able to work in a team, listen to and accept divergent opinions, manage their actions and attitudes, and articulate knowledge with colleagues from different areas to solve problems collaboratively.
