This report shows a reflection on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology, in the discipline of Visual Education of the eighth grade and the possibility in promoting the teaching of visual arts. Initially some questions were raised about the inadequacy of traditional learning methods and teachers, to the current requirements in evolution, with new skills being essential, who leads to rethink strategies and update levels. The idea that students are not being prepared with the “XXIst century skills” was a motivation for the chosen thesis, in a need to find alternatives of change and to improve the teaching-learning binomial. Based on the above, the curriculum contents were adapted to the PBL methodology. The problem, whose response will allow the integration of such contents by the students was designed based on 3C3R model. Some of the strategies of this method are also described, always with the intent to compare their effects to traditional learning. The projects were performed in working groups, also analyzed, that led to the conclusion that their operation has characteristics of self-regulation and high complexity. It was also verified that there are some limitations associated to the PBL implementation related to the resistance of organizations to changes. The skills assessment is described following a protocol based organization Buck Institute for Education (BIE), which considers, prior to work quality, proactivity, autonomy, responsibility and the reflection skills of students. Finally the assessment of comprehension of this method by the students was possible by the completion of a survey whose results suggested levels of understanding of the process as a promoter of teaching, the tutor and students role, higher than expected.
