Introduction.

As students progress, they can take convergence between training and their professional projects. Team based learning (TBL) has proven to be a valuable tool in higher education, which favors reflective processes individually and through collaborative work.

Aim.

To describe the implementation of TBL's methodology in a professionalizing course of Kinesiology.

Subjects and methods.

Study of quantitative approach and descriptive scope. The subject belongs to the sixth semester of a total of 10 semesters in the Kinesiology degree. The course has three types of evaluation: theoretical written test, project evaluation in health and evaluation of workshop activities, in the latter the TBL's methodology was integrated. 65 students distributed in 12 teams participated.

Results.

The group performance and that of the final evaluation were higher than the individual performance in the context of a professionalizing subject.

Conclusion.

The implementation of the TBL's methodology can generate improvement of academic performance in teamwork activities within the context of a professionalizing course in health sciences, being highly relevant because it is at these levels that there is the greatest need for reflective learning in students in order to solve a problem or need in health situations.
