Gradually the perception of specific aspects of education is changing, the professional needs constantly evolve and demand a continuous professional formation. It is hoped that new professionals will be trained in the perspective of skills and competences that exceed the technical-scientific limit, being able to create, plan, implement and evaluate health policies and actions for the population and, at the same time, to solve problems. Thus, new forms of teaching have been developed in an attempt to address these needs both in the labor market as well as in the professionals „education. These methodologies are called Active methodologies, where the student becomes the center of the learning process, and the teacher is no longer the sole holder of knowledge, neither being the one who merely transmits the accumulated knowledge. In this perspective, the need arose to understand if the use of these methodologies is able to develop critical sense in the students in formation, such as what is established in the literature, from the analysis of their learning styles throughout the education time. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to characterize the learning styles, from the application of ILS, among undergraduate students of the Pharmaceutical Sciences course of the University Center AGES (UniAGES), in Paripiranga Campus / BA. A descriptive Case Study was conducted, with a cross - sectional and observational design. The learning styles of 137 students from different periods and different shifts of the mentioned institution and socio-demographic and socio-educational data were evaluated. From the calculation of the average scores obtained in the ILS, the predominant Learning Style was Divergent (51.1%), followed by Assimilator (34.3%). Among the female students, Divergent Style was also the predominant (55.3%), and among the male students the Divergent Styles (41.9%) and Assimilator Styles (41.9%) was responsible for the framing of styles among male students. The divergent style was predominant in most analyzes, where period, shift and employability were taken into account. It is believed that the results obtained reflect the profile of the students of the referred institution, which is private and presents a differentiated structuring of other public institutions as well.
