Background: in the academic year 2007-2008, changes occurred in the contents of the Dentistry curriculum with the merging of the basic biomedical sciences in a single discipline, Morphophysiology. The subjects that comprise it have different forms of organization of teaching, and independent work is one of them. Objective: to analyze the results of pedagogical actions that contribute to a correct guidance of independent work in the discipline Morphophysiology, considering the existing contextual conditions. Methods: prospective analytical study was conducted in the Faculty of Dentistry of Camagüey, from February 2012 to May 2013. The universe consisted of 85 students enrolled in the first year of study in the academic year 2011-2012. The study included the universe due to the importance of the issue. The actions taken included: preparation of the teaching staff, guidance to students on how to perform independent work and individualized attention to students who had shown difficulties in this area. The assessment was based on comparing the academic performance achieved by the students. Results: a high percentage of students acknowledged the implementation, by teachers, of the key elements for a successful guidance of independent work, and the academic performance of students improved after implementing the action plan. Conclusions: the educational actions that were designed to provide a correct guidance of independent work in the discipline Morphophysiology were found to be effective, which was demonstrated by an improvement in the academic performance of students.
