Abstract

This study aims to present the experience of RPD course at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba using active methodologies such as gamification, flipped classroom and case-based learning (CBL) in distance learning, aiming to consolidate learning in planning partially edentulous arches. Activities were carried out synchronously and asynchronously using two-dimensional schemes and photographs of partially edentulous arches as “cases” and based on the concept of the flipped classroom, where students presented the cases and the teachers acted as mediators in the discussions. Excellent engagement and active participation of students in their knowledge construction were observed. The insertion of these methodologies in remote teaching acted as a motivational axis for the students, promoting learning and stimulating development of competences in RPD planning prior to clinical care.
