ABSTRACT
This paper presents a didactic implemented to improve student academic performance. The experiment was carried out during the school year 2010 in General Physics and Biological General Physical, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (UNMdP). The results showed that student performance improved as the school year progressed. The group work encouraged students to work in teams; grades obtained on practical work were better than in the partial, and students performed better on laboratory tasks in the report. We conclude that students achieved deep learning in collaborative group work and cooperative laboratory experiences. The small group work allowed students to work in teams and appreciate the value of aid, solidarity work, learning to respect different opinions and reach consensus.
