Introduction: Audiovisual resources are considered one of the greatest sources and trends in education today. The pedagogical project of Medicine Courses guided by the National Curricular Guidelines (DCN) recommends the use of active methodologies and the introduction of digital information and communication technologies. However, despite the wide use of educational videos as a resource in various teaching circumstances by teachers, there is a lack of data in the literature on the use of this strategy, when those responsible for production are students. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an active teaching strategy through the creation of educational videos by medical students and their degree of satisfaction with this teaching tool. Method: Study with a quasi-experimental design and quantitative approach, carried out with 50 students from the sixth period of the third year of the UFRN Medicine Course, from August to December 2022. A pre-test was applied with the aim of evaluating prior knowledge before the intervention and, after the students created the videos, they were subjected to a post-test and a satisfaction survey using a questionnaire with a Likert scale. In all tests, the value α = 5% was adopted as the significance level. Results: Pre-test scores ranged from 0.0 to 8.0, with a median of 6.0 (2.0) and post-test scores ranged from 2.0 to 10.0 with a median of 8.0 (6 ,0). The Wilcoxon test was used and the score obtained by students in the pre-test was lower compared to the score obtained in the post-test, with a p-value < 0.0001. Regarding the satisfaction survey, 82% of the responses were in the categories of “completely agree” and “agree”, demonstrating that students considered the methodology used in this study important for their learning. Conclusion: The development of educational videos by medical students demonstrated to be an effective and feasible teaching methodology in actively promoting learning, constituting a teaching methodology capable of motivating students to build their own learning path in a didactic way and with a excellent level of satisfaction, in addition to providing the teacher with a summative and formative assessment tool.
