Abstract

The most important value of any society in all times is the person, his welfare, quality of life and the development of human qualities, these are possible in education, therefore, education is a value for the person, society, the state; in addition, education acts as an entity of creation, search for new values, transmission and construction of the common and scientific cultural field. At present, academic education needs to change the development of curricular contents, whose purpose is the accumulation of knowledge imparted by the teacher, which does not allow for free development, questioning, research and integral education. Project Based Learning (PBL) is a learning model that allows to bring out creativity, curiosity, communication skills, teamwork and critical analysis, since it focuses the educational process on the student. This research work seeks to analyze the incidence of PBL in the learning of Hematology, for this purpose, the action research methodology was applied within the qualitative research. In which the significance of the learning process, as well as the quality of learning and the results of the students' training can be appreciated within the PBL realization. Since, they promote what aspects students need to improve, as well as analyze problems in the acquisition of knowledge and thus, undertake actions aimed at building a meaningful education. It also highlights the fact that the PBL knowledge pathway offers tactical learning; therefore, it must be applied consistently to the situation of each student, as well as to his or her daily life. This is something to pay attention to when identifying and implementing learning strategies, since the educational process involves many participants and contexts.
