Methods:

Study framed within the positivist paradigm, through the use of quantitative descriptive techniques. The design was non-experimental and cross-sectional, in which the information was collected through a perception survey prepared for this purpose and with all the desired psychometric characteristics. The information collected was subjected to analysis through the statistical program R, particularly R Commander.

Results:

Based on the factorial analysis of the instrument, three dimensions were established, which were used to determine the orientation of the students' perception regarding the methodology used. It was appreciated that students who had a comprehensive or composite orientation concentrated mainly on the categories of perception Good and Very good, which represented more than 50% of the sample.
