Abstract
To promote the autonomous and continuous learning of students changes were applied to the methodology of teaching and to the evaluation of Plant Physiology. The teaching innovation consisted in carrying out seminars and increasing activities in the classroom. For the global evaluation not only were the marks of final theory and practical exams considered, but also the attendance and active participation in lessons as well as a qualifying end-of-term exam. Results showed a positive correlation between attendance and active participation and passing the end-of-term and final exams. Moreover, the analysis of the questionnaire given to students showed that the majority considered that the educational modifications contributed in a satisfactory way to their learning.
