The restructuring of the higher education in Portugal, resulting from the Bologna Process commitments, began in 2006 and imposed pedagogical-didactic challenges. Teachers were asked to adopt pedagogical methods that broke with the transmissive model and pointed out the need for a curricular organization based on the development of personal and social skills. To understand the effect of these measures on teaching practice, the article presents a study that analyses teaching-learning strategies privileged by teachers of a Sciences Education course. The data were collected through a questionnaire submitted to inditeachers and students in 2010 and 2016. The simple statistical analysis of the data points to the use of a wide diversity of teaching-learning strategies, although the most traditional ones prevail, i.e., there is a contradiction between the political-academic discourse and the strategies followed in its implementation.
Keywords: higher education, curriculum, didactics.
