However, the process of transmitting knowledge centered on the teacher represents one of the greatest challenges to be overcome, and therefore, active methodologies emerge as a strategy capable of promoting autonomy and criticality among students. This study aims to carry out a bibliographical study, with a time frame from 2012 to 2022, about active methodologies in the teaching of Biology through a literature review with qualitative and descriptive analysis, using the Scielo and Google Scholar platforms as databases. From this, it was identified that active methodologies are extremely important tools in current teaching for empowering the student, also favoring the change of traditional teaching, bringing an idea of knowledge construction in which students take part not as mere listeners, but as agents transformative, full of prior knowledge that must be added to this process.Acesso AbertoCiências BiológicasMetodologias ativasBiologia - EnsinoBiology - TeachingActive MethodologiesTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS
