Abstract: 

Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a teaching/learning strategy that develops communication skills, teamwork, management and decision-making. The aim of this study was to evaluate the students' perception of TBL. Phenomenology was used as the theoretical framework for ideographic analysis and nomothetic research from the students´ feedbacks and portfolios. The results of the phenomenological reductions with the subjects´ assertions grouped into converging thematic categories were: 1. POSITIVE ASPECTS of TBL: team work, study routine, meaningful learning, commitment, interaction and conceptual maps. 2. SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE TBL: TBL in the curriculum, organization, number of classes and assessment of teamwork skills. It is concluded that, according to the students´ perception, the application of TBL promotes the development of individual responsibility, teamwork skills, competences (how-to-do) to learn and experience of assessing and being assessed by peers. A thorough planning is suggested.
