This research had as main objective: to understand the students' perception of the Occupational Therapy course of the University Campus on the experience of participating in the teaching mediated by Active Methodologies. The specific objectives are: to understand how the collection of technical and scientific knowledge can interfere in the quality of life of university students; to understand the possible variables that interfere in a negative way in the social and emotional aspects of the students and to identify the existence and prevalence of damages in the physical aspects of the students.
