The implantation of the European Higher Education Area promotes a change in teaching methodology focusing its interest in the process of student learning and the acquisition of a series of specific and generic competences. In order to adapt the teaching-learning process to the current guidelines we introduce a new activity in our teaching practice. It aims to encourage active student participation and provide a stage for the development of various generic competences that allow us to highlight and thus evaluate them. The activity is the oral presentation of a review of the issue of practicing class as well as the explanation of the microscopic characteristics of the samples to be observed in the practice, by students of the subject 'Human Cell and Tissue Biology' in the first-year degree in Physiotherapy. After exposure evaluation are performed by peers and in the end of the course we test students about the experience. With this activity there is a greater student participation and improves the acquisition and development of specific and transversal competences. The teacher has the opportunity to assume the role of guide and facilitates student learning. Students value the experience positively.
