RESUMO:

The traditional teaching method, in which the student is a passive agent in the learning process, becomes lagged behind an increasingly demanding professional pitching field, and the Y generation, which has differences in the way that work and social relations are viewed. Therefore, HEIs need to be prepared for the training of such professionals who have different characteristics from previous generations. Active teaching methodologies, such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), help in the process of empowerment of this generation, since one of its purposes is to assist the student in the construction of his own learning, making him more active in the teaching and learning process. In view of this, the present research aims to analyze the application of the Problem Based Learning method and the development of students' competences through the application of this methodology in the Corporate Controlling component. The research was carried out with 24 students from the Accounting Sciences Course, in the first semester of 2016, in which the first and second units were taught by the traditional teaching method and the third unit was taught by the PBL method. The technique used in the study was a quasi-experiment, still characterized as a descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The data collection was done through questionnaires applied to the students and by participant observation. Data analysis took place through Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets and through content analysis. The results show that the competencies required by the controller were well developed with the PBL application. Of the students who took part in the research: 45% had better self-assessment than their group colleagues in relation to skills development; 91.30% stated that they invested more time in research; 95.65% believe that they learn more through the PBL, because it enables them to construct their own knowledge; 100% states that this is a good methodology since it brings the individual closer to reality; 69.57% consider the PBL better than the traditional teaching method; And 86.96% believe that the PBL should be used in other subjects of the course of Accounting. Although 78.26% of the students affirm that they do not find difficulties with the development of the PBL, there were some difficulties with the elaboration of the problems, hypotheses, questions of research, report and with the administration of time and execution of the papers of each student. It is noticed that the application of PBL is a challenge for both students and teachers, who need to carefully plan each step in the development of the methodology.
