Introduction.

Active methodologies have the student as their protagonist and, when enriched with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), optimize active learning, participation and collaborative work. The objective of this work was to identify the perception of satisfaction of second-year students of medicine and medical technology, regarding the implementation of active methodologies for learning histology.

Subjects and methods.

A cross-sectional, descriptive-comparative quantitative design was used. The perception of the students was obtained through the application of a satisfaction questionnaire on active methodologies such as digital atlas and scientific poster, which included 4 dimensions: methodology, learning atmosphere, self-regulation and evaluation.

Results.

The average scores obtained in each dimension were: methodology M = 4.29, learning atmosphere M = 4.46, self-regulation M = 4.37 and evaluation M = 4.31, equivalent to a percentage of satisfaction of 87.6%, 91.2%, 88.5% and 83.7%, respectively. The best perceptions were obtained from the students of the medical technology career.

Conclusion.

The students positively perceived the active methodologies for the benefit of their learning in histology. This type of methodologies mainly favored the perception of a good environment for learning and the achievement of self-regulation.
